Dani Delgado
A Spanish mural artist who started drawing on paper as a kid and ended up painting walls on two continents — now building his practice between Trier and Luxembourg.
Paper first, walls later
I've liked painting for as long as I can remember. Long before murals, I was drawing constantly on paper, entirely self-taught — at my desk in class, at home, wherever there was a blank page. Graffiti pulled me in early: my first real contact with that world was around 12 or 13.
But what I actually enjoyed most was painting quietly, taking my time, rather than the fast, high-risk nature of graffiti. At some point that turned into a realisation: I could actually get paid to do the thing I already loved doing. That's the moment this became a path rather than a hobby.
From a first wall to painting on two continents
First contact with graffiti
Already drawing constantly on paper, self-taught, I got my first real exposure to the graffiti world — the starting point for painting at any real scale.
First big mural, in my hometown
After a year of asking neighbours and the local town hall for a wall, I painted my first large mural — legal, unhurried, without needing to watch for the police the way graffiti demands.
Knocking on doors
I started approaching small businesses directly, door to door, asking if they'd pay for a mural — even just enough to cover the paint. That's how the first real commissions started coming in.
Murals across Spain
What started with one wall in one town turned into commissions across the country, and into interest from further afield — enquiries from several countries, not all of which turned into finished projects, but real proposals all the same.
A commission across the Atlantic
One of those enquiries did become a finished mural — on the island of Aruba, in the Caribbean. Whether or not every proposal turns into a finished wall, being young and already being flown out to paint, contracted, is success in itself.
Starting to paint canvases
Alongside murals, I began painting portrait commissions on canvas — the same eye for likeness and detail, just brought down to a format that can be shipped anywhere.
Trier, Luxembourg, and what's next
I'm currently studying Business Administration and building my practice between Trier and Luxembourg — murals, live painting for events, and portrait commissions, with Luxembourg as the market I'm most focused on growing into.
Bringing people with me
Sharing the wins, not just the money
What I enjoy most about doing well isn't the money itself — it's bringing friends along on trips when a project takes me somewhere new, and creating chances for people in my circle who deserve one. If someone around me is talented and doesn't have an opening, I'd rather they have a place next to me than watch from outside.
Lifting myself and the people around me
I want to keep growing — as an artist and as a professional — but not at the expense of the people who've been part of the journey. Building something that lifts my circle alongside me matters as much to me as the work itself.
Young, ambitious, and serious about the work
I've played football my whole life, I'm active and sporty, I love to travel, and I'm a genuinely social person — all of which shows up in how comfortable I am painting in public, presenting myself, and talking to clients directly. I want people to see a young, ambitious entrepreneur — but never mistake that for a beginner. The work itself is handled like a professional's, start to finish.
Working across a multilingual region
Luxembourg and the Greater Region run on more than one language, and I can meet clients partway.
