people see me painting something and so

0:02

everybody come what are you doing then

0:05

we show the drones picture oh what this

0:08

is what we're seeing there for me it's

0:10

very beautiful very poetic nursing rest

0:14

memory rest

0:19

[Music]

0:28

forever my my name is sa and I'm a

0:31

leared artist my real name is Gom Lugo

0:35

and I'm 35 years old and I'm friends and

0:37

I live in Switzerland my first step in

0:40

the art world where by making murals and

0:43

graffity and when you make murals and

0:45

graffity you don't put your real name

0:47

you know like with your fun number I

0:49

think your name because of the letters

0:51

that you love to to write I get the idea

0:54

of painting say peace everywhere and

0:57

this is like a Knocked Up rebellion in a

0:59

way to make like graffity but saying

1:02

good and positive messages I love the

1:05

contract between both and then I

1:07

contract it and I keep uh safe the first

1:11

question that I have to answer is what I

1:14

want to say and where because I will do

1:17

the place to say the right story because

1:19

of my painting is outside I love to play

1:23

with the history of the place and the

1:25

athetis of the place then when I know

1:28

what I want to say I will will make some

1:31

sketches and some pictures of CH

1:34

children for example of hands and then I

1:37

will work on the computer to have the

1:39

the right sketch that I want and then I

1:41

make like kind this is a very old school

1:43

method I make a grd on my sketches and

1:47

this same grd I will put it on the

1:50

ground when I will paint so I put the

1:52

little stick of hood every three four M

1:55

so then I I can understand where I am on

1:57

the ground there I make like a normal

1:59

Center I use the black to make outline

2:02

sketch and then I have different layers

2:04

of gray and that make all the three

2:06

dimension

2:09

stuff I got the idea to create massive

2:12

ecological artwork 2012 and uh my idea

2:16

was to create massive artwor being seen

2:20

only from the sky and I think I got the

2:23

idea from the the Drone I was like w

2:25

thises that give me a new point of view

2:27

on Earth and my idea was I will paint

2:31

directly nature because I will have the

2:33

biggest Art Gallery in the world and uh

2:35

this is beautiful

2:38

playground and nobody did it before so

2:42

for three years then I developed the

2:44

technique and they make like so many

2:47

different recipe to be eco-friendly the

2:49

chemical makeup of my pants very easy in

2:52

a way this is wood charcoal which is

2:55

coming from the burning of wine and and

2:57

choke for the whites and then I use

3:00

uh protein of milk to make like a kind

3:02

of uh natural glue I think

3:06

sustainability should be the pill of

3:09

society we know that we are living in a

3:11

limited world we need to reduce all of

3:14

us our impact on on nature if we don't

3:18

what will happen I think Wars and Civil

3:21

War and as a as a la artist that paint

3:25

on grass I'm directly linked about that

3:27

I mean I have to to find a way to don't

3:30

damage

3:33

nature in the process of painting the

3:35

grass I have to find like tools for

3:39

making it happen because I'm the only

3:40

one to do that and I use a arless Panter

3:44

which is like put directly the paint on

3:47

pressure and I got a long tube with the

3:50

pands that allowed me to go in a such

3:53

big scale and now it's funny because I

3:56

develop my brushes specific just give

4:00

because my work is very specific with a

4:02

Swiss brand which is called exlex for me

4:06

it's very exciting it's the same if one

4:08

painter won't make his own brush you

4:11

know and I love it there is some

4:14

specification for example when i p on

4:16

Sand you can imagine we with directly

4:19

the footstep if I walk on it so I can do

4:22

the same I have to start from the center

4:24

of the Fresco very technically very hard

4:27

on gr you can imagine I can walk a

4:29

little bit of fres fres Co on Sand is

4:32

done and if a a dog run on the fres SC

4:35

everything is gone I have to do

4:37

everything again so it's very hard very

4:39

hard one one uh thing that have to be

4:43

well is the adaptation I have to adapt

4:46

everything on every land even the pent

4:49

so for example if I pant directly on Ice

4:52

I will just use black and delion of

4:55

black if I pant on on Sand I will make a

5:00

little bit differently and the

5:01

concentration of the pigment to have

5:03

result that I want so I have to adapt

5:06

everywhere my

5:08

technique the first step of the beond

5:10

walls project I I would come back in

5:13

2018 when I saw documentary which is

5:16

called s Med rescue migrants to the m

5:20

sea you know and I was like like a

5:22

statue in my in my my in front of my TV

5:25

I didn't sleep all the night I saw

5:28

people putting sight their lives to

5:30

rescue others you know and I think that

5:33

it's risky but they they do and I for me

5:37

it was like Heroes and I as an artist I

5:39

wanted to highlight the work and maybe

5:43

help them so I contact the association

5:45

and we directly created a Al project in

5:49

Geneva and from this Al project so many

5:52

people spoke about this our project that

5:55

even Co politician can not ignore it and

5:58

for me it was was a beautiful

6:01

example of the power of arts and and at

6:05

Simon saw documentary about the Donald

6:08

Trump's worldall and I was so shocked

6:11

you know like wow what so much waste

6:14

money and more I go deeper more I

6:17

thought we are living in the most

6:19

connected world that Humanity knows you

6:22

know we can go in uh Japan in in 20

6:26

hours we've got friends everywhere in

6:29

the world

6:30

however I feel that the world which is

6:33

polarizing and fragment and I realiz

6:36

that make no sense social issues

6:39

Financial issues and ecological issues

6:41

need to be overcome

6:44

together so from this conviction I

6:46

choose to create the biggest human chain

6:48

and I symbolize it this idea by two Anin

6:52

hand like that that shaking and helping

6:55

each other and this is a traveling

6:57

project that I start in uh 19 in front

7:00

of theil to and today here in V this is

7:04

the 21 step of this worldwide project

7:07

when I came here one years ago I didn't

7:09

know exactly what I will do and when I

7:11

visit the M here on the tour I saw that

7:13

the thean people in 989 create the

7:16

Baltic way which is the real uh biggest

7:19

humans in the world that connected two

7:21

millions people to fight against think

7:24

the Soviet sovet is and I was like wow

7:28

that's just 5-year-old that I'm creating

7:30

this human Shan I never hear about that

7:32

so but this is so meaningful and and I

7:34

try to create a bridge between both in a

7:37

way I think this a Bo of art how art can

7:41

make fall the different barriers that

7:44

separate humans you know and I think

7:47

that art um need to be involved with the

7:50

different uh questions of society and I

7:54

think uh this is a beautiful tools to

7:57

speak directly to the H of the people

7:59

and maybe to make their their mind

8:02

change you know and this is a universal

8:05

language uh so for me we have a huge

8:09

responsibility of the messages that we

8:11

share with the rest of the world and

8:13

more you go famous and more you voice is

8:17

important I think more responsibility

8:20

you have
