I have posted Muisca’s art before. Here are 2 pieces, in 1 post.
It’s always colourful, imaginative and sweet.
This first one is from Feel Good Lane.
Don’t get dizzy! I rotated this one, for fun.
This next garage door is from a bit earlier in the year.

The Artist:
This alley was painted as a tribute to Barry Luksenberg, who performed under the name “Feel Good”. At 24, he was killed in a motorcycle accident while travelling across Vietnam with a friend.
These are beautifully vibrant.
I totally agree! I should have thought of that adjective myself!
There’s a beautiful sense of the exotic here, a Mexican flair with all the brilliant colors and designs. A lovely selection Resa. xo
I think her art is almost whimsical. I like that. It’s bolder, so I guess it’s WHIMSICAL! Lol! xx
It’s so lively , I love it! xx
Cool progression of animals.
Yes, it is, and a very sweet progression at that!
You get some goooooooooood ***t there in Feel Good Lane!
Yeah, this is the last main piece. All of the pieces are categorized Feel Good Lane.
There’s a pic titled Feel Good Lane on the sidebar. Click on the pic & you will go to the entire collection of Feel Good Lane.
I feel like dancing!
Neat!!! I do too, now that you mention it!
Such gorgeous colors.
Agree! They make the alley come alive.
They’re gorgeous. Love the bright colours and spirit animal feel. they all have little hearts in their eyes. Kudos to Muisca, and thanks to you for sharing with us XX
It’s lovely, adorable work, and it’s hard not to share it! 😀 x
Very colourful, just like your gowns dear Resa 🙂 Love Natascha & Ralph + 3 sleeping pussycats xoxoxo ❤
They love sleeping…. unapologetically! 😀 Love to all in Graz! Resa xoxoxo ❤
Resa, love the colorful art work. Found you through Tim, a blog friend! See you now have your own tree! How cool is that! 📚 Christine
It is the coolest! I’m a city gal, so having a tree is awesome. Thank you for coming here! – Resa
You are very welcome. thank you for following Before Sundown. You’ll get an eyeful of colorful sunsets, but, quite different than your creative graffiti. 📚 Christine
Great fun, Resa… I’m wondering if the artist actually painted whilst on his ‘side’ in the Feel Good Lane mural?
Hahah… As a ‘non-artist’ I can’t imagine him painting a sideways image whilst vertical… lol..
xoxoxo
That is a very interesting thought/question, Carolyn. It was dizzying taking the pics, at first. Then I got used to it, and just took pics. That’s what I can say on it. ❤ xoxoxoxo
“That’s what I can say on it. ❤ ”
Understood!!! ❤
Feel good..describe pretty well the feel you get looking at these
It’s pretty great!
“Feel good” is a great descriptor for these. Before you rotated the images, I was turning my head!
Musica has a colorfully lyrical style. The eyes are captivating. The last one reminds me of a Mayan mask. They have ceremonial headdresses and masks like that. I think it’s fitting to have named the area Feel Good Lane as looking at the artwork makes one feel good. RIP 🙏
I certainly agree with you! The mask is very cool. Definitely a unique artist!
Yeah…. I got used to shooting it sideways, but I just had to rotate it when I got home. 😀

So cheerful and positive. Beautiful, strong, colors and soft, sweet eyes. Just lovely. I’d love to have it by my house.
Her work really brightens up the alleys! I adore both! 😀 Yeah, it’s wonderful to be on streets or in alleys that have art.
Awesome yet again ❤️
Thank you!
Colorful and creative – gives off a festive feel.
All of her work feels festive. Great description, Mary. Thank you!
Ah, what brilliant work! I can’t imagine anyone passing by not getting an instant smile! A wonderful moodchanger! 🙂 xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
Absolutely true. Her art really brightens up any alley. 😀
Beautifully bright and vibrant. The latter face has a Mexican mask vibe.
Yes, the mask…Mayan, right? These colours really work their magic in the drab alley!
Love these so much! ❤
Agree, moe, too! ❤
They have to be in the Feel Good Lane, Resa. Delightful!
It’s a must to have Muisca in Feel Good Lane!!!
The Muisca are an indigenous group in Colombia who have historically lived in the region just north and east of the capital Bogota. I wonder if the artist is from that region? The patterns and imagery would certainly fit, plus the Muisca were well known for making intricate gold jewelry, much of which can be seen in the Gold Museum in Bogota today. Thanks for sharing this!
What a cute style this artist has! I really like the one with the hearts in the eyes ❤
Great art again. Muisca? How strange. That is a native culture in Colombia. They have a very specific gold jewelry style.

How did I miss this beauty?
Love it…
I don’t know!
However, you don’t have to love every piece, or see every piece. I am just happy that you come here when you do. You know what it’s like? Thunder only happens, sometimes. 🤗I’d say only when it’s raining, but I know better! 😘
Oh, I know that. And I lose control of my inbox regularly… still. There are those I prefer not to miss 😉
And Thunder can happen any time…😘
This was a creative and beautiful mural. I like the way the animal heads where laid over one another.
I am laughing here. Because I read your words I have posted musica before and my mind automatically thinking music. I am staring at the mural searching for musical details. I went back to see you you wrote the artists name not musica as in Spanish for music.
Nice tribute to Feel Good. Such a terrible shame to lose someone so young.
However, it’s spelled, I think of music, too! It’s music to my eyes. The denizens of the area he lived in must have really liked him & been proud to have an upcoming artist from the hood. The fact that they Painted and named an alley for him is the pudding’s proof!
So true. Thanks for sharing these beauties
FAntastic colourful! It remembers me on Aztec art. Thank you for sharing, Resa! Michael
These paintings are so full of color and life. Looking at them makes happy!
