Monday Murals - Glocal, Cascais

I love murals and street art. If you like murals or have a mural you'd like to post, this meme is for you.  Just follow the Linky steps below.  Once you start looking you will find murals everywhere.  The "Monday Mural" meme goes live on Monday at 12,01AM, Perth,Western Australian time. Be sure to link back to this blog and visit your fellow posters. Looking forward to your mural finds this week.

Thanks, Sami  

And it's now time for the many murals I saw in Portugal...

In the suburb of Torre, in Cascais, (in Travessa do Sargo 102), painted by Dutch duo Telmo & Miel (Telmo Pieper and Miel Krutzmann), for Infinito Festival Cascais in June 2018.

It is entitled "Glocal" (Collecting the pieces from all around the world which finally make up who I am) with a collage technique which embodies the idea that we absorb multiple aspects of various worlds.

  1. Interesting mural, though the colors are a bit too much muted. I wonder if it has faded. I'm used to seeing more dramatic use of color for such large spaces. Still, it's a good find!
    Thank you for hosting.

    1. I think it has lost a bit of the original colour, since it was already painted 5 years ago. In the original photos on the artist's media it looks much brighter. Thanks Mae

    1. Thanks Tom. I presume not many artists would paint such huge scale murals.

  16. Dear Sami, "GLOCAL" is a good idea, a mix of "LOCAL" and "GLOBAL" and it is a clear sign against xenophobia, because ultimately we are all more or less balanced mixtures of different cultures and origins. I like your mural very much! Unfortunately, when we were in Cascais in 2009, this mural did not yet exist.
    All the best and a good first week of June 🌼!
