Sojo has completed “Pañuelo de cien colores,” a mural commissioned by the Ayuntamiento de Sierra de Fuentes in Cáceres, Spain.
The work takes its name from the pañuelo de cien colores, the richly patterned scarf that Sojo describes as a defining element of traditional Extremaduran dress. Long associated with the region’s popular costume, the textile is recognised for its densely coloured decorative fields and has remained a potent visual marker of Extremaduran folklore.
Rather than treating the reference as costume illustration alone, Sojo brings a local garment and its ornamental vocabulary into the scale and visibility of the street. The mural continues an approach grounded in drawing, figuration and colour—qualities that run through the artist’s public work.
Born in Madrigalejo, Cáceres, Jonatan Carranza, known as Sojo, developed his visual language through graffiti before extending it across muralism, illustration and printmaking. Here, the subject is inseparable from its setting: a painted tribute to a textile tradition from Extremadura, made for a municipality within the same region.
