A large-scale mural by Italian artist Millo has appeared on Hospodárska Street in Trnava. The apartment blocks on that street are named after planets, so Jupiter landed on the facade for a reason, with a figure sitting on it exploring space. The work was created under Zaži v Trnave, the city's cultural centre.
A large-scale mural by Italian artist Millo has appeared on Hospodárska Street in Trnava. The apartment blocks on that street are named after planets, so Jupiter did not land on the facade by chance.
Millo, whose full name is Francesco Camillo Giorgino, brought his signature style to Trnava: in his work, the grey and white world of prefab housing blocks is always lit up by a single central motif. His murals return again and again to large figures, urban architecture and small details of colour.
On Hospodárska the artist picked up a local trace of the cosmos. The apartment blocks here carry the names of planets, so space became part of the story Millo moved onto the facade. A figure sits on the planet, exploring the universe.
According to the organisers it is an image of what we all do: we travel and discover new things, while trying to stay connected to ourselves, to our roots and to home.
The mural was created under Zaži v Trnave, the city's cultural centre. For the centre, public space is an important part of culture in the city, a place for quality art, dialogue and new layers of urban life. Galéria ulice is one of the ways it turns that idea into concrete works across different parts of Trnava.
