Ayuso, without the position or anything, just plain, has appeared on the wall of a bar in Recoletos.

The LaMucca group, which already has 11 stores in the city, has rented the space of the old Dingo Restaurant.

For now it is called Ding Dong.

And it will maintain the packaging of graffiti, bombs, portraits of public figures and murals that give it the appearance of an abandoned place to discover, "in three or four months", a new "surprise" restaurant.

As if the Jumanji

filter

had touched Madrid, this site

contains "an artistic pop up"

, says the person in charge of communication at the company, Nuria G. Barahona.

"We've always had an interest in

street food

. We're trying it out.

It's an innovative experiment in hospitality. It's a fun idea."

The president of the Community decorates the main cloth of the premises.

She is, let's say, like a Gioconda observing everyone who enters or passes through the street.

-Recently, a man started yelling from the door.

He called the image a thief

.

That made him want to throw a bucket of paint -says one of the waiters-.

The decoration works finished a week ago.

The crisis of the Popular Party has launched the portrait.

It has become the bar that Pablo Casado would not step on.

In fact, last Thursday, at the first of the concentrations on Génova Street, someone was carrying a copy of the painting.

"It breaks the dynamic. The place seems to be occupied by a bunch of crazy people.

We felt like doing something like that."

It's not just Ayuso.

"Also

Churchill

with a crest. Rats with the face of

Kim Jong-un

. And the face

of little Nicolás

hidden somewhere," says the artist Tato Respetto, a native of Buenos Aires who has lived in Madrid for 15 years.

Ayuso has the crown of the Statue of Liberty and his face crossed by David Bowie's lightning.

"With the

claim

of freedom, it was quite easy.

Instead of putting on a queen's crown, I think that was obvious.

The Bowie thing was to give it a more pop point. That people associate it with something more cultural and not so much political" .

-Depoliticize Ayuso's face?

-It cost me a lot.

I had to redo it three times.

I had a lot of pressure with that character.

This is how citizens react to Ayuso's mural in the Ding cafeteria in Madrid

Tato remembers when "everyone wanted to do Carmena" and now it's Ayuso's turn.

"Thanks to her, things were better for the hospitality industry."

In the schism of the center right, practically resolved with the imminent resignation of President Pepero, the artist positions himself in favor of the president of the Community.

"He has no personality to face anything.

I think she can be the president of Spain in the future."

He is an art director, does graphic design, works with Heineken, RedBull and has exhibited at the Cruzcampo Foundation in Seville.

"I have also passed through Amsterdam. I have done exhibitions in London and several

Muccas

.

In this case they wanted to do something really street and I have resorted to those who do graffiti, painted in the streets and on the train.

I have worked with real artists

", from which prefers to remain anonymous "for reasons of legality".

Why paint Ayuso?

"I'm not on the left or the right but I am

pro

Ayuso. I think he deserved something like that."

He also runs a bar in Malasaña.

"I've been there for nine years.

The truth is that I had a hard time until Ayuso decided to tidy up.

He saved me."

She has a studio on Redondilla street, in Latina.

"I work with my team of designers, graffiti artists and interior designers. We do all the production in a very nice cave."

The Ayuso totem pole is a strange presence in that downtown area.

They look like the hidden walls inside a bridge.

"It breaks the dynamic," adds Nuria

.

"We wanted to do something different in the most

chic

area of ​​Madrid. It's another form of decoration."
