A couple of weeks ago,Moscow-based artist Alexey Luka visited Mannheim invited to take part of the STADT.WAND.KUNST project where he spent a few days working on this new and magnificent mural.
Painted in Alexey’s characteristic abstract and inspired by the surroundings, he decided in this occasion to make use of warm earth colours, which are to be honest, not so far from his traditional colour palette. As usual he manage to harmonically integrate his abstract into the cityscape, taking small elements from the surrounding architecture and tenderly implementing them into his concept for the mural.
