About this mural:
In many ways this commission was a dream of a first mural project. The objective was to help embellish a wall shared in a neighborhood parking lot that was previously a bit of an eyesore. The background color of the wall had been pre-determined, but beyond that I had creative freedom. This allowed me to test out spray alongside my brush, and to have fun with the concept. The autumn sunflowers felt like a fun way to complement the neighborhood, while adding a bit of whimsy with a celestial ribbon that would fragment into abstract geometric shapes. Working at this scale on an outdoor mural presents its own set of challenges, but the reward of the opportunity to contribute art to a public space was a huge personal accomplishment and very gratifying, inspiring me to expand my visual arts scope to more indoor and outdoor murals in Porto and beyond.
