If you walk through the streets of Brazil, you might stumble upon the beautiful street art of Boa Mistura. Depending on what angle you look at the walls, you might not even notice that the artwork spells something out.
Each alleyway is coated in a bright color and has one word written across multiple walls. The words are each majestic and powerful in their own way, such as the blue-drenched wall that says ‘Beleza’ (beauty) and the sun-colored yellow wall that says ‘Amor.’ The words can only be seen if you stand in a certain spot, but if you walk down the street you’ll just see walls that looks like abstract art.
Boa Mistura managed to turn a poor neighborhood into a sight of beauty, which is a magnificent thing to do in itself.
