]]>Here to lend us a helping hand is artist Okuda San Miguel. Known for his colorful murals and outlandish sculptures, San Miguel ascribes to the notion that more is more—especially when it comes to his color palettes. In fact, when it comes to his work (which is often described as Pop Surrealism), color takes front and center stage.
With a stated goal of “coloring the world”, the Spanish painter and sculptor employs all the colors of the rainbow when he paints his geometric patterns. Inspired and very much shaped by street culture, in particularly graffiti, his work aims at transforming the world we live in: turning grey concrete into a work of art.
“I aim at converting the monochromatic concrete structures and buildings into vibrant places that are filled with color and positivity,” writes San Miguel on his website. “Helping and hoping to change the lives of people. I want people to stop looking at the pavement and start looking up and around.”
Another goal of his is to make art more accessible to the common man. “Art must be present in public spaces constantly and my mission is to transform these spaces in a way that passing through them is an enjoyable experience,” he notes.
Indeed, his art can be enjoyed around the world in the streets of countries like India, Japan, Chile, Brazil, Mexico, Morocco, and Spain. Take a look at some recent noteworthy projects of his on Instagram.

It’s mine.”
“From a young age, I’ve always been conscious of hair’s powerful connection to identity and self expression,” she notes. “In my last year of high school, we had to complete a Senior Project – I chose haircutting for mine. I taught myself the basics of cutting hair from a book, then proceeded to cut my friends’ hair, as well as my own, for the next 13 years. As an artist, cutting hair and treating it as a fibre came very naturally to me. I didn’t actually go to Cosmetology school until I was 30!”
Her persistence paid off, amassing almost 50k followers on Instagram, and with thousands of fans booking a haircut. “I tend to gravitate toward floral patterns (no matter how hard I try not to),” she admits. “I am also very, very nostalgic. I grew up in the 80s (hence my love for geometric fashion) and the 90s, surrounded by residual 70s references. So I have found myself inspired by era color schemes I remember from when I was 10: a vintage blouse I bought at a Thrift Store, down to my best friend’s grandmother’s armchair.”
Take a look at some of her unique hairstyles.
