American resident in Europe. Multidisciplinary artist who explores her creativity both in murals and in illustration, graphic design or experimental installations, among other disciplines.<\/p>\n

Through simple shapes and basic colors, she shows us a universe of na\u00efve characters.<\/p>\n

2021 was a year marked by renewed interest in the origins of the Camino de Santiago, with Oviedo being Km 0 of the Camino Primitivo. To pay homage to this fact, we wanted to paint a memorial mural somewhere along the camino in the city.<\/p>\n

Together with the Department of Tourism and Mar\u00eda \u00c1lvarez Fernandez, Professor of Medieval History at the University of Oviedo and specialist in the Camino de Santiago, we organized a virtual meeting with the artist and Raposu Roxu to explain the meaning of Oviedo as the true origin of the Camino and what this represents.<\/p>\n

Thus, Emily was able to develop the design based on the conversations held, to then capture her art on a fa\u00e7ade located alongside the Camino, at the feet of the pilgrims who pass by.<\/p>\n
