Street Art: Carlos Alberto García paints an Atego in Lisbon
RoadStars meets Street Art
Carlos García shows us the intensity of life in Portugal's capital and an Atego in the midst of it all.
A question of perspective: the artists draw their motifs on the ground such that they are distorted. The amazing 3D effect only becomes apparent from a particular angle.
The task:
The historic centre of Lisbon is famous for its striking architecture and brightly coloured façades. It is not just a tramway operating since 1873 that meanders through the narrow streets of Portugal's capital city, but also an Atego delivering fresh and tasty ingredients to the many restaurants. 31 year-old artist Carlos Alberto García captured this scene on the concrete floor.

Join RoadStars"I come from Mexico and travel all over the world for my artwork. I have already completed many works in Latvia, Thailand, Germany and Canada. I have been painting since I was three years old. I also take drawing lessons on a regular basis. In 2010 I started street painting and I have been involved in anamorphic pictures for about three years."
„"I like realism but nothing too exaggerated. Bright colours also have to be visible in my pictures. I usually do about 30 works of art a year. In my motif the most difficult thing to do was the streets of Lisbon. It was a real challenge to depict the city's very special buildings with the correct perspective."
