Flamingo time!

in StreetArt4 years ago

I found this mural in Tulum, Mexico around 6 years ago. It's not much and to be honest it looks pretty plain... until you actually admire it and realize the Flamingo is not just a Flamingo, but it's painted above some scribbles very typical of Mexico (you can find many of these styled scribbles in Tulum, Playa del Carmen and Tulum (the places I've been in Mexico) in streets that are not very touristic, but this artist took the job and instead of thinking of finding another wall to paint in, he decided to paint above and use the scribbles as part of his own art.

And the other thing that I just loved about this piece is the tail... can you see the tail? It is a mermaid's tale! So we don't have just a Flamingo here, but a mermalingo if you may.

I have no idea how to interpet this (as it happens with many pieces where you can't just get inside the artist's mind) and I just prefer to admire it.

Nice! Mexico is a real street art hot spot. I lived in Playa del Carmen (one hour drive from Tulum). Here is a flamingo from Holbox ;)

Very cool mermalingo 😀
