Pepi Garachico
Utilizo el arte como una herramienta de transformación de las personas y de los lugares.
Nací en 1984 en Buenos Aires, Argentina. Desde muy chico, el arte se hizo presente en mi vida, dibujaba todo el tiempo y en todos lados, durante mucho tiempo fue mi gran pasatiempo y con los años se convirtió en la base de los oficios que desarrollaría más adelante.
Mi infancia transcurrió entre dos mundos opuestos: la vorágine de la ciudad de Buenos Aires y la calma de los paisajes de San Luis.
Piedrabuenarte Cultural Center
I was born in 1984 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. From a very young age, art was present in my life; I drew all the time and everywhere. For a long time, it was my great hobby, and over the years it became the foundation of the trades I would develop later.
My childhood was spent between two opposing worlds: the hustle and bustle of the city of Buenos Aires and the calm of the landscapes of San Luis.
During my adolescence I also began to explore urban drawing and portraits, and I moved to the Comandante Luis Piedrabuena neighborhood in Buenos Aires.
Boedo Artistic Group
In 2012, at the age of 28, I co-founded the Boedo Artistic Group , a muralist group created to represent the cultural identity of the neighborhood and the San Lorenzo de Almagro Athletic Club .
I started as the group's muralist and was able to train the rest of the team in the craft and large-scale art. Together we created more than 170 works : portraits of football and cultural legends, historical photos, and depictions of pivotal moments.
Present
Today, with over 20 years of experience and more than 500 works spread across different parts of the world—including over 300 large-scale murals and small-format pieces—I develop my art from Badalona and Boedo. My current collections explore the identity of the territories that are part of my personal journey: Badalona, Catalonia, Gaudí, and Boedo.
