Local volunteer artists and students assisted Rafael in painting it over the course of 4 days: September 28 - October 1, 2106. Bao Bao Foundation and Boulder Samba School played music for the students as they took turns painting.
Rafael López grew up in Mexico City, and his work is a fusion of strong graphic style and magical symbolism from being immersed in the rich cultural heritage and native color of street life. Influenced by Mexican surrealism, dichos and myths, he developed a style with roots in these traditions. His work on the Urban Art Trail Project transformed San Diego’s blighted East Village with colorful murals. This was the catalyst for development of a graphic style giving children and families the opportunity to paint large scale murals with the artist. Additional murals can be found in Ft. Collins, Colorado; California; Illinois; and Washington.
The mural is painted on the side of the Made in Nature test kitchen and a City of Boulder building at 13th St & Arapahoe Ave.
