1.0 rich Street Art Cities https://streetartcities.com Made this mural for @louresartepublica. The mural started as a reflection about the location where this painting is inserted: A small town, just like many others across Portugal, where the local communities gather and spend time together. The village of Murteira has a great female history around the "lavadeiras" - washerwomen - since the early days, and I started from this premise and worked with the duality of that memory together with the contemporaneity of the building. As an approach, I opted for an intimate setting marked by the candle lights, the proximity of the secondary figures and a colour palette that would go more towards a nostalgic feel. This painting is a tribute to the human relationships and the importance of these gatherings, which were the only way to feed our social needs in harsher times, particularly in these smaller communities. https://streetart.media/7/7f2599fd-874a-43cb-905d-e7588e9dbe2e/1024.jpg 1024 480 480 <iframe src="https://streetartcities.com/markers/e7c6f4a9-920b-475c-869f-994c481686e5/embed" width="480" height="480" style="border:none;border-radius:12px;max-width:100%;" loading="lazy" allow="fullscreen; storage-access" title="Gathering by Jorge Charrua"></iframe> 3600
