I found this masterpiece of artwork walking around the back streets of Bangkok from a distance i couldn't really make out if , it was a painting on this long stretch of wall or huge sticker.

As i got closer i realized that this was a carving in a brick wall really intriguing apparently the story of this is that that flew Alexandre Farto from Portugal to Thailand to create this masterpiece on the wall of the Portuguese Embassy. Alexandre Farto is well known for his amazing wall carvings under his Scratch the Surface project at a number of locations as in Lisbon and London.

He spent five days in February 2017 using hammers , chisel's and small jack hammers to apply his signature groundbreaking technique to one of the whitewashed walls of the Portuguese Embassy on Soi Charoenkrung 30 and what a masterpiece it turn out definitely a eye catcher walking down this street of Bangkok.
