Mural Painting with a Twist

In one of the narrow streets in Baguio City Philippines, you can find mural paintings done by local artists. I like this photo because it shows the normal life before in the painting while the two teens are wearing face masks in the real world. It so artistic way to perceive something today. It depicts how this pandemic changed our lives. Are you fond of seeing mural paintings? How can you interpret this in your own words? Photo is Mine.

We call these street foods and dirty ice cream, which became not available during this pandemic.

This is really good. Such paintings certainly brighten up a dull wall.

I agree. Before, the locals do not want to enter this particular street.

I agree with you. In my city, the city officials look at isolated places that people do not want to visit. Now, they are being visited from time to time. Photo is Mine.

It is my frustration not to paint like this. Hopefully, I can do such a passion for art.

I love Murals and they have become quite popular everywhere. It's a lively painting. My interpretation...the teens are confused - Should I remove my mask and enjoy the yummy food? Or Should I get them packed for home??

I think you are right about the teens. In fact, they were surprised because I suddenly took the picture of this painting with them.

Nice painting indeed depicts life before the pandemic and just in front of the painting depicts real life where people are wearing face masks. I also like seeing murals around the city. We have a few around concrete fences to break the monotony of the walls

I have not seen the others within my city. I am glad that we are on the same page about the interpretation.

How interesting mural. One is a dirty ice cream vendor and the other one I think is a fishball vendor. I think they are cool

I like this one, it depicts a scene of normal daily life in your country. We do not have murals here.

We still have local tribes' mural paintings but have no time to take photos of them. I had these posted here.

These tribes are settling in the territories along the western part of Mountain Province, Benguet, and the southern part of Ilocos. The way they speak of their...

I enjoy seeing murals. A lot of talented artists out there. I laughed when I saw the dog in this one.

I agree with the dog. I think the artist forgot that the city has a city ordinance about stray dogs. It is not allowed to let them walk around the local streets here.
