El Monstro – Mural

South San Jose Mural

I really enjoy this mural, El Monsrto, the monster! It is photo realistic and playful and I can remember my kids pretending and playing when I see it. I enjoy this for what I think and for how I feel when I appreciate it.

Technically impressive is that this was done with spray paint. The artist painted this as part of the Pow! Wow! San Jose 2019 event when numerous artists put up public art works in one week in collaboration with property owners and sponsors. The three years we have had this event have brought a lot of art to our city.

Above is a close up of the painting. Like analog-pixels of the art, up close you can see individual paints that went into the photo realistic effect that you get from stepping back. Wonderful!
