(ENG/ESP) A Great Find: Murals I Came Across While Biking / Un gran hallazgo: Murales que encontré mientras íbamos en bicicleta 🚲🎨

ENGLISH CONTENT


Hello to all street art lovers! A few weeks ago I had the exciting experience of riding a bicycle with the sole mission of photographing the beautiful murals that are located in the Carorita region, in the northern part of the city of Barquisimeto (Venezuela).. I had been going to that place for a while and I had always been called by one or another graffiti along the way, but I did not expect that one day, I would find myself with a display of murals scattered in various parts of that route. I am a lover of color and these murals have them in abundance. Luckily, they fulfilled my whim and took me on a bicycle to photograph these beautiful projects one by one. The first shows us the portrait of a man who is known in the place, nicknamed "Uva". I fell in love with that drawing, where not only the artist demonstrates his good handling of faces but also the effect he achieved by placing that bright blue tone, which makes the portrait shine from afar. Without a doubt, one of my favourites.

Later we can see a more extensive one, so much so that it was difficult for me to get a complete shot of it. In this mural we can read the sentence "Welcome to the Vencedores de Carorita Commune", painted on a black background, which makes the letters beautifully painted with different colors stand out. As you can imagine, I was completely fascinated by it. I think I'll recreate that technique for painting letters at some point.

Another colorful and extensive mural caught my attention, adding to it the drawing style, quite adorable in my opinion and full of some messages like "No to Bullying", "More respect, less discrimination", "No to drugs", "Value to your friends", among others.

In a mural we can see portrayed the "semerucos" tree, which is a fruit that occurs a lot in the area, something sweet and sour that usually serves as an appetizer. As well as the tiles, beautiful birds of a fairly intense blue color that are instantly recognizable when seen passing by.

I liked the next one a lot because of its design and colors, I'm not sure, but it seems to me that it represents a well-known figure from the place.


IMG_20230716_131701.jpg


There is also a mural in favor of women and their lives free of violence.

They could not miss the portraits of Simón Bolívar, the liberator of the homeland.

On another large wall, there is a mural dedicated to various animals such as a goat, a tile, an iguana and the phrase "Na'guará", an expression that the Larenses use a lot to denote impression or amazement (a phrase that I use a lot ha ha ).

In addition to that, we saw some simple but fun drawings, as well as a graffiti that caught my attention, because next to it was the phrase "Don't pollute, lower two". Without a doubt, it was a wonderful tour and a little difficult to navigate because of the intense sun, I even had to take a break because my phone had overheated and it did not allow me to use the camera haha but I am glad that I was able to get all those photos and show them here in the community. I hope I find more places like these in the future and have the opportunity to photograph them.

CONTENIDO EN ESPAÑOL


¡Hola a todos los amantes del arte callejero! Hace unas semanas atrás tuve la emocionante experiencia de ir en bicicleta con la única misión de fotografiar los hermosos murales que se encuentran ubicados en la región de Carorita, esto en la zona Norte de la ciudad de Barquisimeto (Venezuela). Tenía ya un tiempo yendo para ese lugar y siempre me había llamado uno que otro grafitti en el camino, pero no me esperé que un día, me hallara con un despliegue de murales desperdigados en varias partes de ese recorrido. Soy amante del color y estos murales los tienen a montones. Por suerte, me cumplieron el capricho y me llevaron en bicicleta para que fotografiase uno a uno estos hermosos proyectos. El primero nos muestra el retrato de un señor que es conocido en el lugar, apodado "Uva". Quedé enamorada de aquel dibujo, en donde no sólo el artista demuestra su buen manejo de los rostros sino del efecto que logro al colocar ese tono azul brillante, que hace que el retrato brille desde la lejanía. Sin duda, de mis favoritos.

Más adelante podemos ver uno más extenso, tanto que se me hizo complicado obtener una toma completa del mismo. En éste mural podemos leer la oración "Bienvenidos a la Comuna Vencedores de Carorita", pintado en un fondo negro, lo cual hace resaltar bastante las letras hermosamente pintadas con distintos colores. Como podrán imaginar, me fascinó por completo. Creo que recrearé esa técnica para pintar letras en algún momento.

Otro mural colorido y extenso, captó mi atención, sumándosele el estilo de dibujo, bastante adorable a mi parecer y lleno de algunos mensajes como "No al Bullying", "Más respeto, menos discriminación", "No a las drogas", "Valora a tus amigos", entre otros.

En un mural podemos ver retratado el árbol de "semerucos", la cual es una fruta que se da mucho en la zona, algo dulce y ácida que suele servir de aperitivo. Así como los azulejos, hermosas aves de un color azul bastante intenso y que se reconocen al instante cuando se ven pasar.


IMG_20230716_131136.jpg


El siguiente me gustó bastante por su diseño y colores, no estoy segura, pero me parece que representa a alguna figura conocida del lugar.


IMG_20230716_131701.jpg


También se encuentra un mural a favor de las mujeres y a su vida libre de violencia.


IMG_20230716_133941.jpg


No podían faltar los retratos de Simón Bolívar, el libertador de la patria.

En otra pared extensa, hay un mural dedicado a varios animales como un chivo, un azulejo, una iguana y la frase "Na'guará", expresión que utilizan mucho los larenses para denotar impresión o asombro (una frase que yo uso mucho ja ja).

Adicional a eso, vimos unos dibujos sencillos pero divertidos, así como un graffitti que me llamó la atención, pues a su lado tenía la frase "No contamines, bájale dos". Sin duda, fue un recorrido maravilloso y un poco complicado de recorrer por el intenso sol, hasta tuve que hacer una pausa porque mi teléfono se había sobrecalentado y no me permitía usar la cámara jaja pero me alegro de haber podido obtener todas esas fotos y mostrarlas aquí en la comunidad. Ojalá encuentre más lugares como estos en un futuro y tenga la oportunidad de fotografiarlos.

I fell in love with those murals from the moment I saw them in the distance, that's why I was happy when I found someone who wanted to take me to photograph them 😄 ha ha It was too hot! My phone has an app through which I can monitor its temperature and for the first time it reached levels that it had never reached before 😅 Thank you very much for coming to see them. Have a great weekend! 😉💚
