Street Art Cities

Hyuro, born Tamara Djurovic (1974 – 2020), was an Argentinian-born street artist. Her huge murals appeared in many countries. They frequently feature faceless women and they highlight issues including gender based violence and deaths due to abortion. Hyuro both worked as a solo artist and in collaboration with other street art artists, such as Escif and Sam3. 

Her career came to notice when she came to Europe to take a master's degree at the Technical University of Valencia and she became involved in street art. She was introduced to the appeal of murals by Escif who is based in Valencia. Hyuro decided to give street art a try. After a while, there was no turning back, she was seduced by it. 

Hyuro's first mural on a wall was in 2010. Her images are monochrome or with very muted colours. Initially her work was illegal but then she was asked to take part in festivals where the paintings were permitted by the organisers. In 2014 a mural for the Living Walls project by Hyuro depicting a naked woman was vandalised in Atlanta. It was painted over after residents called the mural "pornographic." In 2018 she created a mural in Aberdeen of two fighting nonidentical twins to highlight the political tensions between Scotland and England. The work was part of the Nuart Aberdeen Festival and as usual the faces of the combatants were not on display. Hyuro said that she tried to not show faces in her murals as this left the murals more open for interpretation by the viewer. In 2019 she also painted "Keep it Green" which shows a car hidden under a green sheet. These were two of her last walls. 

By painting this wallpaper artwork Hyuro wanted to make the streets of Aalborg feel more like a home.

The address may not be very precise, but the wall is situated on one of the pillars under the Limfordsbroen in Norresundby, just accross the water.
