Ataco, for short, easier on the mouth, easier on the fingers, is a small city with a population of under 20k, and for such a small compact centre I have never seen so much art in all my days!
Tourism started to take off here in 2004, both for salvadoran and International visitors. I guess if you read the guide books Street Art is one of its big attractions. So let's get stuck in
I am guessing these portraits are of movie stars commonly seen over the years on local telly or at the cinema, from spaghetti westerns to action and adventure. Anyone recognise them?
Man on a motor bike, on the entrance to a bar, a handy pointer guiding patrons to the door of the bar
A Mexican bar, Mick Jagger? certainly got the lips for it
Scarlett O'Hara?
Hey so I like a little puff when I get the chance
Lady in red, is dancing for me.
Whoever they are whoever the artist, they are all prety damn good
This guy seems to enjoy puffing on a fag
Not the best examples of this Icon; I have seen a lot better
Frida Kahlo, one of my all time heroes, and one of the most stunningly beautiful faces I have ever seen, she lived her life as she wanted, survived abuse, childhood polio, a near fatal road crash, and a turbulent marriage.
Her art is an inspiration, sadly she was not really appreciated for years after her short life which ended when she was 47.
Diego Maradona Argentine footballer said to be one of the greatest players ever. Really ? Step forward.........
Lionel, the GOAT.
Cristiano, although he wore our No7 shirt, he tarnished his legacy when he returned for a second spell and acted like a prima donna.

Great selection of Street Art with all these portraits. I don't know anyone if they are famous actors or musicians, although sometimes they ring a bell 🤔 Thanks for sharing these pics on The StreetArt Community.
Have a great weekend
you're welcome,
