“El Luche” by Maxi Zamora in Valparaiso, Chile

Mural on the Steps of Gálvez Passage, Cerro Concepción, Valparaíso

By Maxi Zamora in Valparaiso, Chile.

Maxi Zamora: This mural reflects the days when boys and girls enjoyed the streets with simple games like hopscotch, and childhood was often experienced outside the home. Initially, I painted a boy flying a kite on these same stairs, then kids going down the hill in carts by the port, and now I wanted to capture the childhood of the girls who enjoyed the streets of Valparaíso. My idea has always been to showcase different traditional games from Chilean neighborhoods that shaped generations and gave childhood that magical charm that makes us want to relive it.
