Los Corcelles de Neptuno ☆ The Horses of Neptune

On September 10, 2016 By ResaIn Guests, Murals, Street Art45 Comments

Ralph from Bluefish Way has submitted this hypnotic mural.

It’s a Greek Mythological Mural made out of ceramic tiles based on a painting by Walter Crane.

For the Paseo Maritimo in Sabinillas, it is made of over 2,500 tiles.

It was executed by a local Manilva ceramic artist: Conchi Ferrer & her team.

Ralph has sent us an extraordinary mural. I feel so lucky!

Surrealist Mural in San Juan, P.R.

On August 15, 2016 By ResaIn Guests, Murals, Street Art39 Comments

Humongous thank you’s to Maria from Tropical Flowering Zone for submitting this fab mural.

“Having multiple meanings, it could be about the past lives of Spanish and African American Heritage influences on the island. If you notice the mural is signed by two figures from the past who according to the mural have died.”

“The mural is open to multiple interpretations but seems to emphasize on the colonial influences of the past. There is a white man sinking in the water, but there is also an African American man who is heading towards the water also. The wooden branches tied together seem to represent part of the Spanish colonial vessels who traveled west to colonize the islands of the Caribbean and brought both the Spanish and African culture, symbolized by the multiple shells which can also suggest the presence of the Caribbean Taino Indians already inhabiting the island”

“The white man is portrayed as sinking in the water, yet the African American sinks also”

“Hands also seem to represent the acceptance of fate, although, as said earlier, this is open to interpretation”.

“Flowers can symbolize the aspect of transition and transmission of culture, since they carry seeds which could germinate in distant places, and spread cultural influences, if that were to be the interpretation”.

“This has been one of the most surreal murals I have ever seen seen. However, its symbolism seems to highly relevant to the Puerto Rican people and its cultural heritage.”

“Shells and flowers may have multiple meanings”.

Puerto Rican Iguana

On June 27, 2015 By ResaIn Graffiti Art, Guests, Street Art22 Comments

Maria from Tropical Flowering Zone has also sent us this Iguana.

“This mural has very good technique. It depicts a Green Iguana, officially declared as an ‘invasive species’ on the island. The unknown artists of this mural painted the Iguana as a huge monster holding a Coqui Frog in its hand. “

“Here you can see the detail of the Iguana holding the Coqui Frog. The truth of the matter is that Green Iguanas do not attack Coquis, so at the time this mural was painted, there was a misconception of the Green Iguana and the reptile, which has been stigmatized ever since. The Green Iguana is a beautiful reptile and its diet is strictly vegetarian. I love Green Iguanas and will do anything to rescue and protect them from being harmed.”

Maria from Tropical Flowering Zone took these amazing pics of an incredible piece of street art.

BLACK WOMEN WITH CARIBBEAN MONARCHS

“This mural was painted on an exit to a highway. It depicts two black women surrounded by Caribbean Monarch Butterflies. Puerto Rico is very proud of its African influence and heritage on the island. Several famous black artists have had a major influence in the arts, and this mural pays a homage to black women.“

“The mural is slowly deteriorating, nevertheless it still has great detail. Caribbean Monarch Butterflies are unique because they don’t migrate and are native to the Caribbean region. They are slightly smaller than the Canadian ones but have the same colors and morphology.”
