Italian street artist Blu created a colorful mural that cascades across a seven-storey building. The massive mural resembles a tangled thicket of vines that are engulfing the entire side of a cement building. The colorful mural begins as a dark red color near the roof and slowly transitions into orange, yellow, green and blue.
This rainbow effect provides a delightful image that draws the viewer's eyes in a downward direction. While the mural looks quite simple from a distance, an intricate design becomes apparent as the viewer gets closer.
This beautifully designed piece of street art was created as part of a neighborhood project called ‘Mammut.’ The goal for this project is to encourage creativity and bring new life to dreary pieces of vacant cityscapes.
