Colombian Murals - Sunglass Corner in Santa Marta [CCC's Street Art Contest #222]

avatar

The image for my participation in this week's CCC Street Art Contest comes from the center of Santa Marta, where I have spent the last ten days. It is located on the corner of the calle 19, a narrow and quiet pedestrian street, and carrera 3, right on the side of the Parque de los Novios.

It is a stunning corner mural, best to be enjoyed from the opposite end, looking at both sides of the building, which is the location of the bar called BEMBE. Though we did not see the place from inside, the outside wall, featuring three happy faces, did leave a lasting impression. Interestingly, all three faces, which could be patrons of the bar, are wearing sunglasses: a mature gentleman on the right, a canine (probably a pug) on the left, and a young girl sipping on a cold drink in the center.

Since the location of this piece of street art is in Colombia, it would not be appropriate to include it in any of my mural related post collections. And since I only have found a couple of murals during my very brief stay in Colombia, they are not enough for a Colombian collection. So please enjoy this one, because coming back to it may require some scrolling...

This art you share with us today is really cool. Personally, I love it when commercial establishments, residential houses, etc. are decorated or painted.

I have always thought that this touch of art beautifies and gives a great Plus to the site.Thank you for sharing your discovery with all of us.

Good luck in the contest.

Thanks for your presents! Yes, it should be done everywhere, as it is in the interest of everyone! For the place it is an immediate eye catcher, attracting people to come inside (and maybe buy something). But everyone else who passes by will certainly look at the art and enjoy it. Additionally, if it was painted by a local artist, it spreads their fame.
