Pablo Zabala brings the sea to city walls

Spanish artist Pablo Zabala, born in 1994 in Getxo near Bilbao, creates murals that depict the sea on urban walls. Self-taught in muralism, he later earned a degree in painting from the University of the Basque Country. His work focuses on realistic representations of nature, particularly the movement and color of the ocean, using blues and greens that create a dynamic, shifting effect on static building facades. Zabala's murals serve as a silent form of resistance against climate change, reminding viewers of what is at risk.
