5° Festival International de Street Painting in Toulon - France

This week end (24 e 25 May) I attended the French festival in Toulon. This is the 5 edition, the second for me. The theme of this year was the sport. 
Me and my friend Valentina came a day before, to visit the beautiful city! The sea, the harbor, the city center.
Tolone is very nice!

Beautiful Trompe l'oeil -
Hotel de Port.


Inspiration: 
For the competition I decided to do a tribute to the Olympics. I was very determined and worried, because in my project I did not realize the wings, or clothing, or animals, faces only. Five happy children, representing 5 continents.
My sketch.
Meaning: 
I have dedicated my design for the children, their right to play. Against the exploitation of child labor. Every child should have the opportunity to play and do sports. One day be able to compete for his country at the Olympics
