Monday Mural - Fisherman

Titled "Fisherman", this mural was painted for the 2016 Muraliza project in Bairro da Torre (suburb of Torre), Cascais, Portugal by Brazilian artist Utopia 63
The mural has been done in a mix of paint and tile work.

Below the artwork is an electrical box that also got a bit of a colour treatment. From the signature squiggle I presume it was done by the same artist.

AS FROM MONDAY 5TH FEBRUARY I WILL BE TAKING OVER THE MONDAY MURAL MEME.

  1. I love this particular piece. I think the tiles add so much beauty to it. The close ups show how detailed the tiles are. My eye was also drawn to the electrical box even before you mentioned it. When I first saw it, I thought it was part of the wall. It fits SO well with the main mural.

  2. Thanks Elizabeth, it's quite a different sort of mural with the tiles and painting. I liked the electrical box too, it looks very feminine :)

  4. Well, he doesn´t have the friendliest look, but I certainly do like the tiles! As the electrical box, such a nice combo and such cute fishes.

    1. I agree, the fisherman doesn't look too "pretty" but the electric box makes up for it :)
