Murals in Puerto de la Cruz
It all started in December 2013, when the initiative about street art was promoted by the Urban Consortium for Rehabilitation of Puerto de la Cruz with the departments of Planning and Culture of the city. The main aim of this initiative is to create a kind of art which is using the building's walls as artistic canvases to transform the streets into art museums. The project was warmly embraced by the locals and the tourists. Residents and visitors followed with interest the making of the murals.
The initiative was materialised by five internationally recognised artists, only one of which is from the canaries - Victor Pacheco (Kob). He's an innovative artist, who reflects the beauty of the canaries in a more extraordinary way. He and the frenchman Louis Lambert, known as 3ttman, began with the murals and a bit later the others - Raul Ruiz (El Nino), ROA and Victor Ash joined. Now, thanks to these widely known artists, Puerto de la Cruz has new and contemporary attraction, which is to be completed before the end of this year. Undoubtedly,the project of which both - locals and tourists are pleased, was a great success. |
