Macromural of Pachuca

Known as the Palmitas macro-mural, this vast hillside composition turns an entire neighborhood into one connected artwork. Rather than one painted wall, the piece uses hundreds of homes as a single color field, creating sweeping bands and geometric movement across the slope. The project is associated with Germen Crew and became internationally famous for its scale and for the social ambition behind it: art as a means of reclaiming public life in a neighborhood marked by stigma and violence-prevention efforts. Visually it reads almost like abstract land art laid over architecture. The local flavor comes from the climb of the hill, the density of houses, and the way the composition only fully resolves when seen from a distance across Pachuca.
