Unlike Bogotá’s graffiti artists, who use hoodies and the cover of night to hide themselves from the authorities, Francisco de Nicolás can be seen wandering the city centre in broad daylight, spray can in hand, as he seeks his next target.
He’s on the lookout for loose paving slabs that could soak or trip unsuspecting pedestrians. When he finds them, he casually highlights them in hot pink spray paint, chatting jovially to passersby and handing out business cards.
