This phenomenal piece of street art, on one of the old streets in the Russafa neighbourhood of L’Eixample of Valencia, caught mine eye and I wanted to share it to see if you could figure out what the hell it means!
I walk around this neighbourhood a lot and there is not much street art around. Not like in other sections of Valencia, like Ciutat Vella and El Carmen. But this one on this short, little and not too much transited street, is something of a work of art. I’ve no idea who painted it, but it was painted in the traditional style that one would create a mural. Nos stencils like the ones used by Banksy and his minions…
So, what do you think? What does it mean? Or does it mean nothing? I would like to know.
Here is some other ones (including some fallas) back from 2020…

I think the demon or monkey god is warning his captive human to behave or beware

He looks a bit like a monkey to me.

Good observation. I think it’s sort of a hybrid monster…

Be quiet and stop whining. Now you’re sitting in a cage, like only we birds usually are. Now you’ll experience what it’s like to be locked up, says the owl, symbol of wisdom, representing its fellow owls. All birds. The bird is large and therefore powerful, while the tiny human sits powerless in the cage: a reversal of the actual balance of power.

We as humans like to assume a superior role here on this little blue ball. How wrong we are.

Aren’t we? We’re made in the image and likeness of God, but we don’t believe it and deny it. That’s our downfall my friend. Have a fab Sunday and all the best!
