Safont ( Barcelona, 1995) is a visual artist whose practice brings together painting, documentary photography and contemporary muralism. Over the past decade, he has developed public art projects across Europe and beyond, establishing an internationally recognised practice rooted in a close engagement with place, communities and lived experience. Throughout this journey, photography has remained a constant research tool and the foundation of his visual language.

​

In recent years, the studio has become the primary space through which he has deepened this investigation. Without departing from the methodology that has defined his practice, Safont gradually shifts his focus from the public realm towards a more intimate territory, where personal experience becomes a new field of inquiry. Within this new body of work, the relationship between photography and painting moves beyond a documentary logic to become a space of intervention, where painting acts directly upon the photographic image, altering its reading and questioning its status as a document.
