Description
The ornate entrance of Picoas Metro Station, part of Lisbon's yellow line, is reminiscent of the early 20th Century Art Nouveau ones found in Paris. Long green stem like lamposts flank the stairway, leaves fashioned from metal provide partial cover to the red, bud like shades, the whole thing tipping it's hat to nature. Overlooking this grand entrance is a gigantic wall mural, this incredible graffiti art is part of the 'Crono Project', where abandoned buildings are used as blank canvas, giving artists the opportunity to revitalise derelict locations, bringing them to life with vibrant colour. Pictured here is the work of 'Os Gemeos', twin brothers from Brazil whose work often features the yellow skinned characters of their dreams. I added a little texture to enhance the artistic feel of the image.
