Other murals in this area, one of the richest mural painting districts in the city, include Sam3, Escif, Jo Di Bona, Buckhead Murals, Gyun Hur, Loss Prevention murals. For this 10 x 6 meter wall overlooking the street, Difuz proposes a mural entitled &#8220;azul ritmo,&#8221; a mural that creates dialogue between the cities of Atlanta and Marseille.<\/p>\n<p>In &#8220;azul ritmo,&#8221; the characters are weightless, linked through the cultural movements represented. The composition is rhythmic, mimicking a line of musical notes. The 5 characters represent the street, pop, and hip hop culture. A dynamic composition meant to give rhythm to this street piece! The title \u201cazul ritmo\u201d symbolizes the rhythm of music, my South American origins, and the colors of the Mediterranean.<\/p>\n<p>Born in 1985 in Paris, and trained in Marseille, <strong>Difuz<\/strong> (Diego Konicheckis) has been practicing graffiti since the age of 14. Member of the crew \u00ab\u00a0Ki Fait Ca?\u00a0\u00bb it has been taking over public space for almost 15 years, and today represents the rising Marseille scene. It was in 2009, during a trip to South America, the land of his origins, that he decided to devote himself completely to painting and illustration. He then begins to enrich his universe, a figurative world resulting from urban cultures. He invents and develops a society filled with characters evolving through scenes, in a world where the real and the imaginary seem to mirror each other. Letterwork is also important in his style and maintains a link with the graffiti of its origins.<\/p>\n<p>In partnership with DIGATL and ELEVATE, \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/my-moon.org\/\"><u>Museum of the Moon<\/u><\/a>\u201d will be presented at Underground Atlanta from Oct 7-9, 2022.
