"Still alive" is a work deeply representative of Marcos Tamargo's imaginary, where urban art, symbolic criticism and contemporary culture converge. The artist uses a spray can, an icon of graffiti and immediate creative action, as a literal and conceptual container. Being open and torn, it reveals inside the figure of an astronaut, a recurring symbol of exploration, vulnerability and human loneliness.
