It's Aztec


The image above is just part of a much larger work (seen below) at Katoomba Street Art Walk.  It is done by Mexican artist Peque imagining Katoomba as a ruined Aztec temple.

Participating in Sami's Colourfulworld Monday Murals.

    1. Even with Iris' explanation the theme is a bit of a mystery to me.

  4. Unusual visualization of Aztec culture! The colors in the mural are unusually subdued.

    1. They say murals fade over time. I wonder if this one was brighter once.

  6. This is absolutely incredible, and a bit scary, too. So much to take in, too. You found a real gem in this one.

    1. I think it is the scary element that makes it less appealing to me.

    1. That is the sign of true art I think, when there is something unique and interesting in it.
