Borja ‘Cayn’ Sanchez is a Spanish painter born in 1982, known for his artistic journey starting with graffiti in the streets of Barcelona in 1999. After completing a training in illustration at the Higher School of Illustration and Art in Llotja, Barcelona, he obtained a diploma in fine arts from the University of Barcelona in 2015.
Wall painting became the foundation of Borja’s artistic expression, allowing him to communicate with the urban landscape and discover his creative voice. His later education in illustration and fine arts further refined his techniques and expanded his artistic horizons.

Borja’s art is a fusion of graffiti, illustration, and fine arts, creating a style that is authentic and meaningful. His work explores themes of resilience, cultural heritage, and human connections, inviting viewers to experience emotions and introspection through his paintings.
