Location

The mural Labor is located on the Brandinhães Viaduct, a transit structure in the Barreiros urbanization, in the City of Maia. This strategic location places it in an area of continuous movement, where the work integrates into the urban landscape, being visible to those passing through this part of the city.

An Artistic Intervention

This remarkable urban art creation is authored by the artist Hazul. The mural was conceived in the context of the celebrations of the five hundred years of the Charter of Maia (Foral da Maia), a historic milestone for the locality. The work was developed with the central theme of Labor, a choice that reflects the identity and pulse of the community and its daily life.

Symbolism and Perspective

The composition of the mural Labor is a representation of the constant flow of individuals and goods that characterizes this point in Maia. The work expresses the diversity and complexity of the urban environment through an allegorical and symbolic procession. A particular feature of this mural is how its various visualisations adapt to the observation speed of those passing by the viaduct, offering different perspectives and inviting visual interaction.
