Favela Mosaico
This artwork was created over an old painting by a group of residents in the north of Rio de Janeiro. The previous work had lost its brightness to the sun, so they decided to freshen it up by sticking tiles on the wall.
I love the way they brought colour back to the city and improved the look of the whole area, using more sustainable materials that will last a long time.
The previous artist makes impressive use of the space around the staircase that leads to the river. The space itself works as a frame. I'm also fascinated by the colour palette as it combines the colours of the architecture: brick and concrete walls.
