Mercury and Psyche

Description

For their first mural in Toronto, we selected the sculpture Mercury and Psyche made by the sculptor Reinhold Begas as inspiration for this mural. The sculpture depicts the moment in which Mercury (or Hermes) finds Psyche, since his mission was seeking, helping and taking her to the Olympus.

We liked the idea of Mercury finding and helping Psyche, carrying her on his back. One of the names of the city of Toronto is believed to mean “meeting place” or “plenty”, and we came to know that it’s one of the cities with more foreign-born population in the whole world, which make the city a real meeting point.

Hunter

Tiny Tim

Started out hunting the streets in Antwerp, and completely bitten by the 'street art' virus. And the only cure is: HUNT SOME MORE. I love showing people all the amazing Belgian artists, run street art tours in my city and occasionally facilitate new mural projects. I love to travel and meet other hunters and artists. So hit me up when you're in town.
