This mural named "Under the Sea" was painted in July 2016 by the
Portuguese artist Angela Ferreira, whose artistic name is Kruella D'Enfer, born
in 1988.
The mural "Under the Sea", is in Bairro da Torre - in the
beautiful village of Cascais, Portugal.
It is a neighbourhood where sixty years ago - although with the same
buildings and streets - people did not feel safe. Today, thanks to the murals
that were painted there, the people who live there began to see it with
different eyes and to use it in another way. And whoever goes there, like me
every time I want to go shopping on foot in a hypermarket that is not far from where I live, I walk through it without hesitation, seeing and reviewing the
attractive murals with joy.
The mural is worthy of Cascais, because in addition to Cascais having
one of the most beautiful bays in the world, it is there that the sea kisses
the Tagus River, the largest river in Portugal, (although it starts in Spain).
International regattas have been held in Cascais since 1871.
From 1870, the King and his family brought the Court to spend summer in
Cascais, and then the nobility and the rich and
famous people followed.
Very lively and eye-catching mural.

A very beautiful mural
ResponderEliminarCalming troubled people with art is a really delightful idea! I don’t think it works universally!
