Liga Nacional de Graffiti Valencia 2026 Results

MariaDie wins the Valencia stage

MariaDie won the Valencia stage of the Liga Nacional de Graffiti on 4 October 2026. Her mural centres on a woman transforming into fire, an image that placed first after three days of live painting in the Montolivet neighbourhood.

Rudi took second place with a letter-led composition. Third place was shared by Konestilo, whose work depicts a fallera, and Danklabara, with a scene combining a man, a puppet and a tear. The result was reported after the awards ceremony on the final day of the event.

Three days of live painting in Montolivet

The Valencia event ran from 2 to 4 October around Plaça de Vicente Alcober Coloma and Carrer de Pepita Samper. It was the second time the national circuit had stopped in the city, following its 2025 edition, and the 2026 programme announced more than ten murals made in view of residents and visitors.

Ten national competitors were joined by invited Valencian artists. The announced line-up brought together figurative painting, realism, lettering and hybrid approaches: Nauni69, Hide2, Danklabara, Rudiart, Konestilo, Daes, Cafre, MariaDie, Itsperfectchaos and Cien.

How the Liga Nacional de Graffiti works

The 2026 competition rules describe a field of 24 participants divided between figurative work and letters. Qualifying rounds feed a general ranking, while selected artists meet at live events in different Spanish cities and continue accumulating points across the season.

At each standard event, seven places are assigned to the figurative category and three to letters. The format makes the Valencia stage part of a longer national competition rather than a standalone mural festival, even though the works remain visible locally after the ranking points have been awarded.

A competition is not the whole graffiti scene

The Liga offers something rarely available in everyday street encounters: the public can watch large works develop from preparation to final detail and compare distinct techniques within the same timeframe. It also gives artists a formal platform, production support and national visibility.

That structure should not be confused with the entire graffiti culture of Valencia. A commissioned, judged event operates differently from unsanctioned writing, small interventions and the slower accumulation of images across a neighbourhood. Both belong to the city’s visual landscape, but they carry different conditions and histories.

Where to see the Montolivet murals

The event centred on Plaça de Vicente Alcober Coloma, with documented works along Carrer de Pepita Samper in Montolivet. The area can be visited independently from the city centre, without an admission ticket or a fixed exhibition schedule.

Street works remain exposed to weather, maintenance and later changes, so this article does not guarantee that every mural will remain in its original condition. Visit during daylight, keep pavements and entrances clear, and record the date if you photograph the walls as part of a changing public archive.

Field note: The 2026 Valencia stage is over, but its new Montolivet walls remain the useful record: look for the winning work by MariaDie, compare letters with figurative muralism and remember that this is one organised layer of a much larger graffiti city.
