Mural artists David de la Mano and Pablo S. Herrero have collaborated together to create some captivating figures made out of various trees and people. These large-scale murals now call the streets of Stavanger and Sandnes in Norway their home.
The two artist have joined forces in the past such earlier this year in Uruguay when they created similar silhouetted work. Their recent work involves three separate pieces entitled Silvano; a mural on The Science Factory in Sandnes Norway, Semblantes; a mural on the campus of the University of Stavanger in Norway and Habitat; a mural in Stavanger.
What I like the most about these murals is the use of faces to create them. Each artwork uses the same silhouette figure of a person's face as the underlying theme and it really comes out in these black and white murals.
