City Art of Papeete

As you all are aware, we live in Papeete, Tahiti. Despite being in Tahiti...which is known through out the world as "paradise"...Papeete is a small, urban city in a developing country...which means it is not very modern and is rather rundown and weathered by the tropical environment. But there are some wonderful murals painted throughout this little city...amazing artwork by amazing artists. There is also a lot of graffiti...though some of that is quite artistic as well. So, this is just a post of various wall art found throughout Papeete. I have included some close ups of a few so you can see the details.We as humans try to bring beauty to our world wherever we are. Enjoy!




An electrical box.



Some of the more graffiti-like art work.



One of my favorites



Probably my favorite wall.




So you can see the setting for this wall.

And up close



Kind of cool yet creepy :)





You see a lot of stores with painted fronts (roll-up doors)


Notice the details in her eyes.
