Mexican Wall Art












Whenever we're out wandering around we take the camera with us. Joanna especially snaps photos wherever we go. In Alamos she focused on doors and dogs, but since we've been in Mazatlan she's begun to record Mexican walls.

Most of the buildings here (like elsewhere in the country) are built with bricks and then plastered over and painted. The ruins and the older buildings that haven't recently been painted show layers of paint colours that look like abstract paintings. These were the first ones to draw her attention. Also, in Mazatlan, there are lots of walls with spray paintings, ads and graffiti that look like art. The third group are adjacent buildings with contrasting colours. Here are just a few from the collection.

Completely understand if you'd rather not, though.
