🎧 Artist: #KAGEoner / #KAGE in City: #Amora #Setubal Portugal 🇵🇹 01/2025 - Title: "X18-AROMA" 🎶 - #Art #Streetart #Mural #Music #Artist #Cassette #Walkman

Streetartwall. An original mural with a very musical comic-style figure has been sprayed/painted on a white house wall. The figure is an old Walkman, dressed in an olive-colored jacket and with metal hands. He has green headphones on and is holding an old music cassette in his hands. On the cassette is written X18 Amora (a HipHop/Rap Music Producer). There is already a cassette in the cassette compartment with round holes that look like his eyes. This cute cassette man makes you want to press play immediately.

🐝 Artist: #FredRushCollins in City: somewhere in #Bayonne France 🇨🇵 10/2024 - Title: "Living is easy with eyes closed" 🙈 (Das Leben ist einfach, wenn man die Augen verschließt.") - #Art #Streetart #Mural #Artist #SprayArt #Bee #Abeille
("Le Jour où la connerie est tombée du ciel, rares sont ceux qui avaient un parapluie.") #GoodMorning !

Streetartwall. A small mural of a bee with a message was sprayed onto a bricked-up window. The background is a rectangle in pink. It shows a flying, cute cartoon bee with big eyes looking at the viewer. Above it is a thought bubble with the text: "Life is easy with eyes closed".
Info: This probably means that you live much more simply and at the expense of others if you don't want to see what's going on around you and don't care about anything or anyone else.
The Artist: "The day bullshit fell from the sky, only a few people had an umbrella."

🫂Artist: #JOTALO (Jose Javier López) in City: #Madrid #Moratalaz /Av. de Moratalaz, 134 /Spain 🇪🇸 02/2025 - Title: "El abrazo" ("The embrace" /"Die Umarmung") - #Art #Streetart #Mural #Artist #FamilyTree

Streetartwall. A colorful mural with two women was sprayed/painted on the outside wall of a four-story (19,5 x 7 Meters) modern building with small round windows. The mural is very unusual and designed in different pastel colors. The depiction of an elderly lady and a young girl overlap semi-transparently. The older lady is looking to the left and is depicted in pink. Only her face is kept colorless in shades of grey. A young girl with brown hair is leaning on her shoulder and looking towards the viewer. Her colors are pink and blue. The colors overlap and are disturbed by neon green graffiti lines. Blue skyscrapers are painted in the background and a bright rectangle in the corner shows a pink orchid. A beautiful and harmonious arrangement that conveys a sense of family, conversation and closeness. (In the photo, the artist is standing at a corner of the house.)

🐓 Artist: #BAILON / #MateusBailon 🇧🇷 in City: #Lisbon #QuintaDoMocho / #Loures R. Agostinho Neto/ Portugal 🇵🇹 07/2017 - Title: "Galo do Mocho" - #Art #Streetart #Mural #Artist #Rooster #Classics #GoodMorning ! https://www.mateusbailon.art/

Streetartwall. This beautiful mural of a rooster was spray-painted on the outside wall of a three-story apartment building a few years ago. The rooster stands between a row of windows that are on the left side. Detailed and curved lines were used to create a proud blue and white rooster with a bushy crest and erect tail feathers, standing amidst tulip blossoms. Both the animal's body and the flowers have been drawn with fine lines, making the cockerel something special.
Info: The mural plays with two Portuguese symbols of folk art: the cockerel of Barcelos and the famous Portuguese tiles, the azulejos. The rooster heralds the sunrise and symbolizes the end of darkness and that a better day lies ahead. It also symbolizes courage and wisdom.
