Interactive Installation

This installation is inspired by my latest paintings, which are pretty much portraits. Located in an building at Panama’s old district, Casco Viejo, the basic idea of the piece was to create an abstract figuration that was interactive. That way, the silhouette of the public is painted by shapes, colours, and lights in order to create movements and forms.
The major objective of this installation was that people from different social backgrounds could experiment with art, no matter where they came from.

This mural represents our friendship. Ultimately, we had a lot of fun doing this project together.

Thanks to  the Nguyen family and Andrew Barsoum for all the support during the making of the mural.
