Tres décadas después de su última restauración comenzó hace un mes una profunda limpieza del “Juicio final” de Miguel Ángel, el espectacular fresco del maestro italiano en la Capilla Sixtina. Se trata de una de las obras más emblemáticas y visitadas del catolicismo, por lo que se necesitaba una manutención “extraordinaria”. Son las 7 de la mañana cuando accedemos en exclusiva a la Capilla Sixtina. En la sala donde se celebran los cónclaves, un enorme andamio ha sido montado para que los técnicos limpien el colosal “Juicio final”, el imponente mural pintado por Miguel Ángel en el siglo XVI. Micrófono en mano, la directora de los Museos Vaticanos, Barbara Jatta, reitera que no se está restaurando el mural, sino apenas realizando una intervención “extraordinaria”. Muchos visitantes y poca ventilación RFI es uno de los primeros en acceder al sexto y séptimo piso del andamio, cubierto con una tela con la imagen del “Juicio final”. En el sexto piso, Paolo Violini, responsable de las restauraciones de pinturas en El Vaticano, reconoce que ha sido el aumento exponencial de los visitantes, unido a la poca ventilación de la sala, lo que ha creado la capa de salitre blanquecina que cubre la obra. “Es una intervención de manutención extraordinaria necesaria por el velo blanquecino que afecta bastante a la visibilidad de la obra. Es un velo homogéneo, presente en toda la obra, causado por la condensación. Pero por suerte se quita fácilmente sin causar daños. Este velo está formado por lactato de calcio, que se forma por el ácido láctico, una sustancia de origen antrópico y proveniente de la respiración de los visitantes que llenan la capilla”, precisa Violini. “Un proceso natural” En el séptimo piso, con el techo a pocos centímetros de nuestras cabezas, Fabrizio Biferali, curador del arte del Renacimiento en el Vaticano, explica en qué consiste la limpieza: “Usamos agua desionizada, agua destilada, y dos capas de papel japonés que se apoyan en la pared. Se dejan 30-40 segundos adheridas a la pared tras pasar por encima un pincel mojado y luego se retira. Así se va toda la suciedad. Es un proceso natural”, dice. La directora de los Museos Vaticanos celebra que la capilla se pueda seguir visitando mientras se realiza la limpieza: “Esperemos poder desmontar el andamio sobre el ‘Juicio final' para Semana Santa. Estamos trabajando para que el mural quede terminado y se pueda ver durante las celebraciones pascuales”, indica Barbara Jatta. La última intervención en el “Juicio final” se produjo hace más de 30 años. Fue entonces cuando, no sin polémica, quedaron al descubierto los vivos colores utilizados por Miguel Ángel.

Mirko Reisser- besser bekannt als Daim - ist ein international agierender Graffiti Graffiti Künstler. Großformatige Schriftzüge im 3D Style sind schon seit den frühen 90er Jahren sein Markenzeichen. Inzwischen arbeitet er auch als Kurator, Autor und Herausgeber. Wir sprechen mit ihm über "Eine Stadt wird bunt". Was als Chronik der Graffitibewegung in Hamburg beginnt, wird zu einer Ausstellung, dann zu einer Schallplatten Kompilation und gipfelt in einer X-Mas Jam mit den Hamburger Rap Acts aus den 90ern. Was als nächstes geplant, ist verrät er uns im Gespräch. (Flashback) Welche Rolle spielt Björn Beton bei einem seiner ersten Spray Erlebnisse? Wo hing er als Jugendlicher ab? Und Wie kam er zu seinen ersten Aufträgen? Bevor er als Daim weltweit Hauswände in monumentale 3D-Illusionen verwandelt, will er eigentlich Paläontologe werden. Doch dann kommt alles anders. Ein Tape von Run-D.M.C. macht ihn mit der Hip-Hop Kultur bekannt. Kurz darauf wird er Graffiti Künstler und kann schnell von seinen Aufträgen leben. Er erzählt über die Anfänge von Deutsch Rap in Hamburg, eine Anekdote von Jan Delay und von einem Song von Nas. Außerdem geht es um das höchste Mural der Welt, das er in Calgary, Kanada auf ein Hochhaus malte. Und wir sprechen mit ihm über seine Werkschau "35 Years Of Graffiti Art" DAIM Retrospektive im Woods Art Institute.

This week's episode of the Artist Academy Podcast is for my fellow Type B artists… and it might make a Type A listener clutch their planner. After hosting a mural meetup in Costa Rica, I realized just how differently artists operate—some plan every detail, and some (hi, it's me) make decisions in real time, right there on the wall.I'm sharing the “Type B” habits that keep my mural business moving: staying flexible when clients change their minds, why my contract protects my creative freedom, how I handle deposits (or don't), and the systems I do use so I can still wing it without chaos. If you've ever felt “too messy” or “not organized enough” to run a real art business—this one's for you.

Get ready to be swept away into a sprawling space opera, when Erika Flowers joins us to talk about her passion for writing fiction novels. She approaches writing fiction as entertainment rather than high literature, comparing her creative goals to producing Marvel-style blockbuster experiences. Erika traces her journey from discovering fantasy worlds through the Dragonlance series in middle school to spending 16 years learning the craft before finally writing her first complete manuscript. She describes her meticulous, architect-style approach to writing, treating the actual process like an athlete training for an ultra marathon. Erika talks about her strengths writing character dynamics, relationships, and exploring themes through interpersonal drama rather than external action sequences, and gives us a sneak peek into her upcoming projects.Guest BioErika Flowers (she/her) is a technologist and designer who brings a love of storytelling into everything she does. By day, she helps organizations shape strategy and design for the future, and by night, she writes sprawling novels and explores the craft of story as a lifelong passion. Erika has worked at tech companies such as Intuit and Mural, as well as serving a term at NASA as a civil servant as a part of their digital transformation initiative. She currently works in medical technology, innovating in the field of diabetes and insulin management.

In this episode, we spotlight one of Flint Energies' Rural Murals in Butler, Georgia, located in Taylor County, and explore how public art can spark real, lasting change in rural communities.What began as a mural quickly became a catalyst for downtown revitalization—bringing residents and visitors back to shop, dine, and gather in Butler's historic downtown. We discuss how art creates a sense of place, strengthens community pride, and helps small towns reimagine their future.How Butler's mural helped reignite activity and energy downtownThe role of public art in rural economic developmentWhy murals encourage travelers to leave the interstate and explore Georgia's backroadsThe power of storytelling through art in celebrating local history and cultureApplications are now available for the 2026 Rural Murals Grant, and Flint Energies wants to help create a mural for your hometown.The Rural Murals Program is a collaboration between Flint Energies and rural communities across Middle and Southwest Georgia to create large-scale murals that:Celebrate each community's unique history, culture, and identitySpark economic development and downtown activationStrengthen sense of place for residentsSupport talented local and regional artistsServe as focal points for community pride and conversationEach mural is custom-designed by selected artist(s) and reflects the community it represents—whether highlighting a prominent industry, local folklore, festival, or historic moment. No two murals are the same. Flint Energies partially funds selected projects that highlight positive images of Middle Georgia's history and culture, with the goal of improving aesthetics, increasing marketability, enhancing perception, and encouraging continued private investment.

AI, AI, and more AI. Do you even live in Silicon Valley if you're not talking about it every episode? This week, we go deep on how open-source vibe-coding tools are starting to replace the need for traditional SaaS contracts. Dave shows (and tells) how he used the open-source “Claude bot” to reverse-engineer his Mural photo frames and spin up a better web UI in under 30 minutes. Brit test-drives Anthropic's new Cowork, auto-mapping the entire seed VC market while it runs her browser, and celebrates how much these agents are boosting household productivity. Sam loves the power but calls local agents a massive security backdoor, argues trust will consolidate with Apple and Google, declares that “software is not a business,” and announces we've officially entered the fart-app era of AI toys. Jessica flags rising panic among SaaS vendors. Don't miss Sam's hot-chick analogy and Brit's Pop Corner to close it out
