POW! WOW! ’14 / Streets: Inti

After long days of working under hot Hawaiian sun, another participating artist the of POW! WOW! Hawaii festival, Inti, recently finished his mural. Known for his focus on the rich South American history, tradition, and symbols in his public art, the artist decided to use this "smaller wall" (by his standards), for something a bit different. Instead of painting only his characters that he is most known for, the Chilean-born and Paris-based artist created a still life image using a lot of different elements. Along with books, fruits, a sand clock, and more, he also included a portrait of his recently deceased family dog. Using his signature color palette that consist mostly of shades of purple, orange and yellow, and with his masterful use of spray can as a medium, this mural is another confirmation of his talent and strong distinctive style.
