Almost childlike and naïve in its style and colours, the artwork adorns many plain buildings across the small city of Ataco.
It was in the early 2000's that tourism took off here, and at that time to "brighten" the place up city council sanctioned and applauded street art was seen as ideal
To me it isn't real, it isn't purist, it isn't special, it's too whimsical and false. Do you get where I am coming from?
The murals appear to be done by a group of multi talented local artisans.

Like the mural with totem pole, reflecting Red Indian decent, most probably wrong name used here, more indigenous descendants to America's.

Nice captures none the less!
