Sojo Unveils "Pañuelo de cien colores" Mural in Sierra de Fuentes, Spain
In Sierra de Fuentes, a municipality in the Cáceres province of Spain, artist Jonatan Carranza, known as Sojo, has unveiled a mural titled "Pañuelo de cien colores." Commissioned by the Ayuntamiento de Sierra de Fuentes, the mural draws its name from the pañuelo de cien colores, a vibrant scarf that Sojo associates with traditional Extremaduran attire. This textile, celebrated for its intricate patterns and vivid hues, serves as a significant symbol of the region's folklore. Rather than merely depicting a costume, Sojo reinterprets this local garment into a striking street artwork. Originally from Madrigalejo, Cáceres, Sojo's artistic journey began with graffiti and evolved into muralism, illustration, and printmaking. Images of the mural can be found on Instagram at @sojo.jc.
