Incredible urban artwork - painted while floating on a SUP
Floating on a stand up paddleboard, somewhere in New York is Sean Yoro. Originally from Oahu, the artist steadies himself against the wall with one hand while sitting or kneeling on a SUP, and with the other hand paints incredibly realistic murals of women. Subtle tattoos adorning their shoulders or neck, these ladies look just like giants, bathing in murky city waterways where nobody would usually travel.
He does admit, this is street art, but he says there's nothing better than finding 'prime walls in abandoned places' to work his magic. Besides, would you complain if this appeared on a wall near your workplace or home?
“This piece was inspired by the silence beneath the surface of the water, when all you can hear is your heartbeat as everything else fades away. Its one of the many places I call home.” Says Sean, talking about a mural titled ‘Pu’uwai’ (which means ‘heart’) featuring a woman with her ear softly pressed to the water surface.
