Street Art: Ruben Poncia paints an Atego in London
RoadStars meets Street Art
Everyone knows this architecture – and this vehicle too. Ruben Poncia creates a worthy stage for the Atego.
The task:
Every child knows London's landmarks – Big Ben, the London Eye big wheel and the world-famous skyscraper at 30 St Mary Axe, nicknamed "The Gherkin". When an Atego crosses Tower Bridge in the early hours of the morning, together the sights form a breathtaking backdrop. Artist Ruben Poncia rises to the challenge.

"I never learned to paint in school or at university. For me, my work is above all an expression of creativity. I prefer to paint unrealistic things and just have at it. For me it was tricky to bring London's many landmarks together into one motif."
