C.D.B.: "This work is about a person who always wants more. I think she wants something that she can only get with money. She lives in a world of material values and is therefore slightly stressed. The fact that there is a woman in this picture is a coincidence. I started the work with the two words 'Quiero otro' (I want more) and tried to write them on a black background. The large black area became the hair of a woman. Consumerism, which gives many people a bad mood, affects all genders equally."

Casa De Balneario's works deal with consumerism and materialism. They are ironic comments that he leaves wherever he goes. In his hometown Montevideo, in Buenos Aires or Barcelona. And also in Berlin, one of the capitals of street art. But the police arrested him when he was about to glue a paste-up at Warschauerstrasse. He spent six hours at the police station and his work was closely inspected and confiscated. He was told that his posters were anti-capitalist and posed a problem. Dangerous irony, on.
