Mural on San Clemente Street

Santa Cruz de Tenerife · Category: Art · Subcategory: Urban art · Year: 2023 · Authors: Iker Muro

On a wall of a tall building on San Clemente Street, almost at the corner with Pi y Margall, we find a huge urban mural created in September 2023 by the artist Iker Muro. This work is part of the series known as Immerse Yourself in Santa Cruz , an initiative promoted by the Fundación Cepsa with the support of the City Council and the Autonomous Culture Organisation, which aims to transform urban spaces lacking aesthetics into artistic windows where various authors can offer their varied creative visions.

On this occasion, Iker Muro opted for a work with an explicit theme of great social interest: a healthy lifestyle. A huge still life is represented here in a colourful way, where the fruit, with the banana as the main element alongside an orange and a watermelon, is shown figuratively, while on the other hand, there are also evident features of certain geometric abstraction in a vase with its flowers. 

The bright colours in the middle of that large wall add an aesthetic component to an area that, after this artistic intervention, has completely changed its urban appearance.
