Abra

Abra is a community of building decorators disrupting how people commission artwork. Artists have risen and fallen in status throughout history. Their works have sometimes served a useful purpose, but often have just been created to be enjoyed. Abra aims to put artists and their patrons on a pedestal by leveraging technology to connect and empower them to create the art they want.

Abra aims to put artists and their patrons on a pedestal by leveraging technology to connect and empower them to create the art they want. Abra is short for the Spanish word “abierta”, and its aim is to open The Doors of Perception. It is a tribute to Communa 13 in Colombia, where the transformational effect of street art on society can be seen, as well as A-lham-bra, the Muslim palace in Spain, where the mosaics are craft unequalled to this day. “If the doors of perception were cleansed everything would appear to man as it is, Infinite. For man has closed himself up, till he sees all things thro' narrow chinks of his cavern.” - William Blake
