Urban Thoughts is a graphic essay on life in the city.
It begins by observing specific scenes and gradually becomes a collection of ideas, thoughts, and small reflections that surface over time. Repeating moments, accelerating rhythms, minimal situations unfolding between crossings, traffic lights, and waiting times. The city as a place that pushes, exhausts, and pulls you along, while also generating an energy that’s hard to explain.
An almost automatic impulse to want to be part of all that chaos.
In El milagro de encontrar mesa, a very familiar situation is interpreted — any Saturday for someone living in Chamberí. After seven full laps around Plaza de Olavide, a free table finally appears, as if it had been there all along, quietly waiting for you. The scene borders on the absurd: the moment feels almost divine, the table seemingly lit by a celestial beam.
The city has just surprised us with one of its small miracles.
Thank you!
