Slytherins would be proud! Spanish street artist SFHIR has created a large-scale graffiti that portrays a little girl and a huge king cobra snake. The artwork, titled The Golden Legend, was commissioned by the International Contemporary Art Festival. The mural, located in Guarda, Portugal, shows a large snake slithering down the staircase as a blond girl stands on guard, ready to fight it.
SFHIR specializes in imposing murals that combine spray paint graffiti with paintings using different tools such as airbrushes, brushes, and rollers. His skills are reflected in the intricate artwork details in the stand-off between the snake and the little girl.
To showcase the various details in The Golden Legend, the viewers of the mural are placed in specific areas of the public space so they can get a perfect view of the artwork from different perspectives. Looking at the images alone proves that the artwork is mesmerizing. Imagine if you get to view it in person!
