This was was painted during the Muraliza 2016 initiative, by Portuguese artist Gonçalo Ribeiro, AKA MAR, using elements of Japanese culture and comic strip art, his characters are multicoloured and surreal.
Found in Rua Estrela do Mar 830, Cascais.

Definitely surreal. I felt like I was on an acid trip (although I'm not sure what an acid trip would feel like). This is a real trip (and not just to Portugal, either).
ReplyDeleteI like the acid trip analogy Elizabeth, although I don't know what it would feel like either, lol.
DeleteIt's a little strange, but not offensive.
ReplyDeleteThanks Andrew, not my kind of "creature" either, but it's fun.
DeleteSome weird goings on here!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Christine, lol.
DeleteUma obra de arte.
ReplyDeleteUma boa semana.
Andarilhar
Dedais de Francisco e Idalisa
O prazer dos livros
Obrigada Francisco.
DeleteAlso a mural that tries to explain the working of drugs to fill the brain I think. And every artist has his own idea how to do it.
ReplyDeleteYou could have figured out the mural S.C. Thanks
DeleteA surreal image.
ReplyDeleteThanks Marianne.
Delete...big around the middle!
ReplyDeleteThanks Tom, humpty dumpty.
DeleteIt is surreal for sure and I guess MUTA means "mutated"?
ReplyDeleteReminds me a bit of the warnings on cigarette-packages, just in nice!
Yes, could be short for mutated. Thanks Iris.
DeleteThe image certainly is strange, but the colors are terrific. This mural was a great find.
ReplyDeleteThanks TFG.
DeleteDefinitely weird; but that's a good thing. Thanks for contributing to this week's Monday Mural.
ReplyDeleteThanks ODP. Some murals are really weird, but art is subjective, so some people might find them beautiful.
DeleteEstranhamente brilhante.
ReplyDeleteObrigada Pedro.
DeleteGoodness that's a big one Sami! His style looks a wee bit familiar, I wonder if he's been to Perth?
ReplyDeleteI thought the same when I came across it, I think there must be another artist with a similar style.
DeleteI didn't see this one, Sami. We were only there on a quick overnight stay but I liked the place a lot.
ReplyDeleteThanks Joanne. Glad you liked Cascais, it's a pretty town.
