Description

This mural by the Spanish street artist Sam3, located in Porto, Portugal, depicts a large silhouette of a human figure with their hand raised near their face. Painted in a minimalistic and monochromatic style, the artwork is both striking and ambiguous, inviting viewers to interpret its meaning. The negative space created by the silhouette outlines a second figure within the composition, suggesting a narrative of introspection or duality. Sam3 is known for his large-scale, often shadowy figures that explore themes of humanity, nature, and identity. This piece was created in 2011 as part of the Manobras No Porto Festival, adding a contemplative presence to the urban landscape.

Hunter

Retired professor. Lover of visual arts and also music. After discovering some interesting works by street artists in 2005, I started hunting for them, especially in Portugal: Lisbon, Porto, Coimbra, Covilhã, Aveiro, Leiria, etc. and also in my city: Tomar. I have been taking some excursions to Spain where I hunted down some works: Badajoz, Valencia, Seville, Bilbao. I plan, soon (2024), on traveling to Vigo and La Coruña.
