Staircase of Dreams – São Paulo

On September 14, 2017 By ResaIn Guests58 Comments

São Paulo, Brazil is back with a look at “Staircase of Dreams”: in Portuguese, “Escadão dos Sonhos” courtesy of Carolee Croft! “

“Staircase of Dreams” the title given to the project by the community organization, is described by Carolee.

” This staircase is located in the Pompeia neighbourhood of São Paulo, Brazil.”

“The artwork was commissioned by a local community organization, Cidade Ativa (Active City).”

“Previously, there had been concrete walls around each platform. These structures had enabled a lot of drug deals in the area due to the tall walls that could hide dealers from view.”

“Now, the metal railings allow this beautiful art to be seen instead. There are some pictures and videos of what it used to look like and how the project was done (it looks like they had a lot of fun) at this site: STAIRCASE OF DREAMS”

“The first time I came across it, I was lucky enough to encounter the artist painting the fox.”

“I got a photo of the artist’s dog as I walked up the staircase.”

Carolee has named this piece “Fox of Death”

“In photos taken a few days later, the “Fox of Death” is completed.”

I really enjoy the before and after shots!

“It’s a very mysterious painting, and unfortunately my Portuguese wasn’t good enough yet to ask the artist about what it means. Any ideas?”

⭐ THANK YOU, CAROLEE! ⭐

Carolee Croft is a Canadian writer currently living in São Paulo, Brazil. She writes novels that are in her own words “I hope not too naughty for your audience”. I find that a tad endearing coming from an admitted fan of Spongebob. You can find her books on Carolee’s Books on Amazon

Guess I’m on a blue streak.

Paintings on corrugated walls are usually hard to see, let alone photograph.

However, this one works great.

If you look carefully, in spite of the weeds, you can see the writing says “Kizmet”.

It was thrilling to find a large window reflecting this gorgeous piece across the street. It’s a bit like … “Where’s Waldo?” Seriously, can you find me?

Another garage door from the series I started in May, this year.

The bird seems to love the dog!

The dog loves the bird. that’s why he has many bird homes.

Obviously, he’s a renaissance dog.

Poor Resa! I saw her approach this mural, and I thought she might faint. She sure fooled me.

She started taking pics, immediately. I mean, it’s insane here with Dali and all of the Krazy Kartoons! I’m the only Kool one, the only Kat.

Blow up any of the Pano shots, and blow your mind!

WELCOME TO CABBAGETOWN

Seemingly a community sponsored mural, this new beauty is found in the parking lot of the LCBO

I love that they paint this beautiful mural, then put up the LCBO sign and parking signs.

I wish they’d paint the wall in the parking lot of the LCBO in my hood! It’s about 3 times as long. It gets the worst throw-ups & tags every night.

Then, they uselessly whitewash over said tags every morning. The wall looks just as bad with all the blotchy white wash bits, as it does with the tags.
