Last week, walking down Crespo, I spotted a mural at the turnoff to Calle Panorámicas del Fortín and discovered it was the work of Jesus Kobe.
Hmmm… Recently, I’d seen another of his works on Allende near Crespo.
I was familiar with the artist because last year, friends and I were walking along Panorámicas and stopped at this mural.
We walked further along to find another mural, but without a signature. It turned out the artist was walking by and when he saw us admiring the work, he graciously stopped to chat. It was Kobe and he explained that he only signs his work once it is completed.
Serendipity, why this place never ceases to surprise and delight!
And, watch and hear Kobe explain the inspiration that underlies the mural he created for Santa Fe Taqueria in Portland, Oregon:

I always learn something new via your site. Gracias, Shannon!
Thanks, Barbara!
I’m not sure “spectacular” quite describes those murals! I will have to contact people I know in and around Portland and urge them to visit the taqueria.
Looking forward to seeing the ones on Crespo – are they new?
The newest one isn’t actually on Crespo, it’s on Zona de Monumento (also maybe considered Calle Union – it’s the street leading to Panoramica). However, you can see it walking down Crespo. Keeping my fingers crossed it will still be there when you arrive. 😉
