CCC's Street Art Contest #169 - The Urban Jungle

Today I want to bring you a vision that a Portuguese artist - Mr Panik - wants to leave us! In collaboration with Infraestruturas de Portugal and Lisbon City Council, this artist has managed to make unique use of an outdoor space that, despite its rounded shape, has a unique projection due to its central location in the city of Lisbon. This work, located in Entrecampos , shows passers-by a slightly folkloric and somewhat cheerful view of the conglomerations of houses, many of them built in a social housing context, located in the northern part of Lisbon's suburbs. The strong colours often used in these neighbourhoods, some of which are very close to the waterline, bring a unique and unusual tropicality to a city with a century-old history, but which transforms and reinvents itself on a daily basis to welcome those who move through it.

This work is a breath of fresh air that invades the spirit of those who pass through. I felt energised straight away, even though I was tired from a long day at work, when I didn't even have the chance to see the sun, but it almost instantly made me dream of a paradise destination... even if that destination is just over half a dozen kilometres away. Curious, isn't it?

And how do you like the urban jungle you're in? How do you turn the cement and sterile white of the walls into something that makes you and others dream?
