On our visit to Lisbon last year, I walked around this avenue looking for a specific mural I had read about somewhere.
I couldn't find it where it was meant to be, apparently the building had been demolished, but I found this one instead.
I've been unable to find anything about the artist/s though, but the word Rotas at the bottom could be a clue. The mural is at Avenida (avenue) Marechal Gomes da Costa, not far from the Staples office supplies shop in the suburb of Olivais, a 20 minutes walk from Lisbon's waterfront Aquarium.

Your mural this week is really vivid! I hadn't thought about trying to find our more about the mural makers whose work I showcased.
ReplyDeletebest... mae at maefood.blogspot.com
Thank you Mae. I like to find out about the murals and the artist.
DeleteA great lively piece, Sami.
ReplyDeleteThe perils of seeking fast-changing street art, but at least Lisbon is kind to us, as there's usually another piece not too far away.
Thanks Debbie, yes there's always something interesting around the corner in Lisbon.
Delete...keep on a rocking! Neat one.
ReplyDeleteThanks Tom.
DeleteVery cool!
ReplyDeleteThanks William :)
DeleteJa ist ein cooles Bild.

DeleteIt's a great fun work. What is the guitarist up to with the sideways look of his eyes?
ReplyDeleteWho knows, probably eyeing a sexy girl :) Thanks Andrew.
DeleteCool mural
ReplyDeleteThanks Adam.
DeleteIt rocks!
ReplyDeleteThanks Bettie.
DeleteOh, wow, that´s Heavy Metal according to the hand, right? Let´s rock :-)
ReplyDelete(Not that I like Heavy Metal, but the mural is cool)
Not a fan of heavy metal either, but I thought the mural was quite funny.
DeleteAnd that only with white, black and red. Makes a great impression.
ReplyDeleteYes the three colours are very powerful.Thanks Stef.
DeleteLove the artist's use of three colours to create a pretty cool scene here. Super find Sami. Hope you are having a super time with your daughter here. it's not her first time to Perth is it?
ReplyDeleteThanks Grace. She left last night :( 2 weeks flew by quickly. She's been here a few times, basically every second year since we've been here.
DeleteThere is a similar, gigantic one near the City Hall in Basel, Switzerland
ReplyDeleteWhat a coincidence, maybe it was done by the same artist :)
DeleteLove that expression on the guitarist's face and the hair! Nice find Sami.
ReplyDeleteThank you Lois, he does look funny :)
DeleteWow! Very powerful image!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful week!
Thanks Lea.
DeleteAo vermos esta obra, quase que escutamos as sonoridades saídas da guitarra. Será Blues? Será Rock? É indiferente porque o som é electrizante, tal como a pintura:)
ReplyDeleteMuito boa tarde!
Obrigada Rui :)
DeleteHeavy metal!
ReplyDeleteThanks Pat.
DeleteThat shade of red seems to be just right for the subject. Cool find. Sami.
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you for hosting this meme.
Thank you Dee.
DeleteHeavy metal e arte urbana.
ReplyDeleteGosto da mistura.
Bjs, boa semana
Obrigada Pedro, boa semana, espero que esteja tudo de volta ao normal por ai.
DeleteNice rock n' roll image!
ReplyDeleteThanks Linda :)
DeleteHeave forbid, Sami. How much later can I get? My apologies. I felt like I knew the musicians, although it was just my imagination. Lovely way to stumble into art.
ReplyDeleteNot late at all Elizabeth! I haven't been much on blogland as my daughter was here visiting for 2 weeks.
DeleteI also felt I knew those faces when I saw the mural, lol
Yay to the music! Hugs...RO
ReplyDeleteThanks RO
Deletelove this mural. It really jazzes up the staid apartment building. Rock on!
ReplyDeleteI think so too Mary, looks so much brighter :)
DeleteVery dramatic with the red and black!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jeanie.
DeleteQuando for a Lisboa vou tentar encontrar esse mural na Gomes da Costa.
ReplyDeleteObrigado pela dica, Sami.
Um beijo.
I do like the expression on the guitarist's face.
ReplyDeleteGood find here.
All the best Jan
