We dont hear from BLU too often, but when he finally starts painting, he goes big. This new mural in Rome was completed after months of intense work and its massive.
According to the artist the project was done without any official authorization or institutional support, only through the efforts and cooperation of neighbours of Porto Fluviale.
Porto Fluviale was the main supply route of imperial Rome and maybe this new mural, featuring colourful heads with distinctive characteristics, can be a representation of that.
Here a few shots of the work provided by the artist himself.
