A mural painted by Aryz in Civitavechhia, Italy. It was part of WAVES, a project centering on urban requalification and promoting education and the general public's participation in communal sites. I'm not sure what the theme of this piece was - I think it may have been mainly intended to just fascinate the eye and provide a feeling of whimsy and fantasy to what looks like a nondescript neighborhood.
The mural itself is gorgeous and complex in its details - the dinosaur is made up of god knows how many flowers, each one distinct, with thin veinlike stems running through the body. The blossoms squeeze out of the skeleton, floating outwards. Yet the color scheme and overall structure/composition of the piece seem surprisingly simple - the dinosaur stands in a straightforward erect position, while the palette consists mainly of greens, pinks, blues, purples, and some orange, along with the orange-beige background the building itself provides.
I really like this piece, in case that wasn't inferable. I'm a sucker for overwhelming detail; skeletons are cool, not to mention dinosaur skeletons; and pink and purple are almost my favorite colors. The little cap, the bunny ears, and the bow tie add a dimension of play to the mural that complements and augments the fantasy of the blooming dinosaur skeleton. I feel like the colors were also well chosen - though it may at first seem like a cool-palette piece because of the greens and blue-purples, the interspersion of the pinks work with the color of the building itself to balance the illustration. Perhaps the only thing I find fault with this piece would be its composition - I think it was a good idea to lift the leg of the dinosaur in order to sidestep the issue of the building's overhang, but overall I feel the placement/movement/posture of the dinosaur pales in vibrancy and dynamism to the detail and color.
