Traditions and history

mural seixal 3.jpg


This is probably the biggest mural I found around. Quite unexpectedly too. I know the wall and I know there was always some single graffiti on. Parts if it looked pretty ugly though.

In 2021 this large blue mural was created as a part of Street Art Festival.

The artistic interventions will take place on six gables, painted by artists invited by the municipality. It is curated by urban artist Ivo Santos, best known for Smile.

“From a community involvement perspective, the project aims to have the participation of young people from the area, who will have the opportunity to leave a mark on the territory and place where they live, creating a positive impact with and within their community”, reads also on the municipality's website , which integrates the event into the Mural 18 program, a new cultural platform, which brings together the Lisbon Metropolitan Area in defense of the artistic community and heritage.

And so you can spot wine, fishing , farming activities, different cultures..

Looking at it was almost like a challenge to spot all the details representing different parts of everyday life, history, and tradition. It is a pretty amazing job out there! And I like that the whole thing is kept in the blue and white colours. Like the traditional tiles (azulejos).

On the bottom right here, you can see a man taking off the cork from the cork oak. It is still done by hand today and takes some skill to do it without harming and killing the tree.

This is how the whole thing looks like. The area may ot be the best, but the wall looks pretty nice now.

Uwielbiam oglądać murale. Nawet te pozornie proste rysunki wymagają (A przynajmniej jak na moje, amatorskie oko) dużo pracy, precyzji i przygotowania. A jak jest jakiś tematyczny, np historyczny jak u Ciebie, to już w ogóle bomba i świetna informacja (Bo zapadajaca w pamięć i wyrazista) dla kolejnych pokoleń.

Ano. Podobnie zrobili w Lubinie i Legnicy. Tylko że tam to tematyka górniczo-hutnicza z dodatkiem patriotyzmu (Lubin ma jedną czarną kartę historii z okresu Prlu, jedna z ofiar jak ten kolega z klasy Cejrowskiego. Grzegorz Rzemyk chyba.). Pewnie gdybym widział to na codzień, to by mi się przejadlo ale tak zawsze zatrzymam się na chwilę by popatrzeć.

Wow!... There is a lot of art in this mural, the style is similar to what we call here "naive painting" and it is very eloquent and conveys a lot to whoever looks at it... It is impressive (and wonderful) that a job of this caliber is on the street... An excellent find @ewkaw friend!... Thanks for sharing!

Beautiful wall with this color scheme. With your first photo, I wasn't expecting such a long wall. Thanks for sharing these pics on The StreetArt Community.

Enjoy your day

Thank you! I wasn't sure how to catch the whole wall. Had to step back quite a bit.

If there is one thing that I really like when I go around it is finding street art, something that is fortunately spreading in Italy too

For me, the blue and white colors make the art more appealing.

This is splendid art work. I love art that has some history behind it.
