Also, the texture of the quite rustic and porous concrete wall played an important role when choosing the materials. I had to do all eye estimating a basic grid while considering the angle of inclination, lengthening the illustration so that it was distorted as little as possible in the front view of the public. The experience was quite a challenge, starting with the mural's irregular curved and sloping shape, which did not allow me to use a projector or many measures to sketch the initial idea on the wall. Even though my medium is mainly digital, I was able to carry out this large-scale mural (Approximately 50' long).

The last time I was in a room with so many Venezuelans was more than five years ago before moving to NYC, so I am sure that this experience inspired and gave warmth of home to most of us.
