It was the first road that my eyes saw and my legs touched. It is the first experience you have of the outside world when you were small until you became older. There are paths and spaces that mark your life, and this one marked mine.- I have many plans on the way. It is a family business that was started by my great-grandfather, then was passed on to my grandfather, father and uncles. I was going to focus on music but the blood and the legacy are calling.
Buenos Aires, Jul 27 (EFE).- (Camera: Javier Castro Bugarín) At first glance, Belgrano de Banfield avenue (Buenos Aires province) has nothing special, but a particular behaviour is observed among its passers-by: they walk more or less in a hurry, they go in and out of the shops, but everyone, at some point or other, looks up at the sky and smiles. The reason? Martín Ron's hyperrealistic murals.FOOTAGE OF THE MURALS.

"I immediately ended up falling very ill due to a serious lung disease" "Although I come from a poor origin, from the periphery, from a simple place, with all the possibilities that were open to me of crime, violence, drugs and various other things, my interest in the streets was always in the sense of art" "I never followed this path (of art) for financial reasons or recognition. I continue painting because that is in me, it is part of who I am. Painting is my hobby, my passion, what makes me happy".
