Monday Murals - Cascais I

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 

Murals painted for the 6th edition of the Infinito Festival, which was held from the 1st to the 8th of September 2024 at Bairro da Torre (Torre district) in Cascais (Portugal), 

The theme for 2024 was "Collaboration", bringing together four pairs of artists to paint 4 murals - "collaboration makes us stronger".

The first one "O Mundo é teu" (The World is yours") - was painted by AddFuel & HalfStudio, and can be seen at Rua das Naus.

                   




My parents took a photo with the artist Add Fuel aka Diogo Machado, when he was painting the mural and sent me the photo. I then sent them a photo with the artist when he was in Perth painting a mural at Curtin University in 2016. The following day my parents went by the mural and showed him the photo and he remembered  meeting me.

April 2016- Diogo Machado with me, and September 2024, with my parents

 
The second mural just across the street, was painted by Moami31 & Youthone - a mural rich in symbolism, colour and details, portraying a message of strength, vitality and unity.

  11. I'm very impressed by these murals depicting faux azuleiros. I think I've seen similar ones in Paris and I'm going to check to see if they're by the same artist. As for the second one, it's really colourful and delights the colour-blind person in me. (kwarkito)
