Graffiti artists repaint entire neighborhood to create giant rainbow mural

Radiant colors can transform the appearance of a neighborhood significantly, and this tiny village in Mexico is definitely a sight that dazzles the eye and cheers everyone up.

More than 200 houses in Barrio de Palmitas in Pachuca were painted in intense colors, transforming the entire neighborhood into a beautiful rainbow community. Youth organization Germen Crew teamed up with the Mexican government to repaint around 20,000 square metres of wall to form a single rainbow mural that spans the barrio.

According to Street Art News, 452 families (around 1808 people) said they were positively affected by the beautification, and youth violence has been reduced. Check out the video about the project, embedded below:

Kulay Sa Tubig

Image credit: Manila Bulletin Watercolor is not easy to use. It's unpredictable and hard to control. Unlike opaque paints, a slight change in the water-to-pigment ratio or the wetness of the paper can alter the outcome. But, with a lot of practice, plenty of patience, and a little bit of luck, you can create something truly beautiful. Anyway, here are some of the entries from the 37th Kulay Sa Tubig National Watercolor Competition, which was held recently at Estancia Mall in Pasig. The exhibit runs until October 27, 2025.

Sayaka Ganz creates amazing art menagerie from discarded plastics

I could never get enough of Sayaka Ganz . The Japanese-born artist saves the planet from plastic, at the same time creates brilliant animal sculptures. Raised under the Japanese philosophy of Shintoism, she hopes to bring greater awareness to the condition of our environment through her art. When creating sculptures, Sayaka organizes the reclaimed plastic objects into color groups, constructs a wire frame, and then carefully attaches the fragments of waste until she creates the shape she has envisioned. Her work has been exhibited in many places around the globe, among them Parma, Tokyo, Denver, New York, and San Francisco to name a few. Sayaka's Reclaimed Creations is currently on view at the Asian Arts & Culture Center at Towson University in Maryland. She regularly posts on Facebook, so be sure to like and follow her page for updates.
