Today’s second “Honorable” mention is from Trainer AletsisG (@AletsisG) in Mexico 🇲🇽!
This postcard showcases a striking large scale mural "Mascara Social" prominently painted on the side of a multi-story building in Cuauhtémoc, Mexico City (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuauhtémo…).
It presents a stylized, poetic representation of a woman wearing a traditional Mexican Rebozo (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebozo). According to the artist, the piece acts as a deep reflection on the hypocrisy deeply rooted in modern society. It explores how individuals frequently alter their appearances, actions, and presentations simply to fit into or look good within their immediate social circles. The artwork suggests that this ongoing social masquerade ultimately deprives people of their true identity and authentic selfhood.
It was completed in 2016 as a featured contribution to the Constructo Art Festival (constructoarte.com/festival/), an initiative curated by Galería Arca dedicated to expanding the scope of public urban art across Mexico and Latin America.
This mural was created by acclaimed Argentine urban artist Francisco Bosoletti (bosoletti.com). Bosoletti is widely recognized for his unique, classically-influenced style that merges classical figurative painting techniques with street art. He frequently utilizes an inverted or "negative" color palette, creating ethereal, dreamlike imagery that reveals its full detail when viewed through a digital negative filter. His work heavily emphasizes themes of human fragility, social reflection, and our relationship with nature.
