A mural, inspired by life under coronavirus lockdown in Greece, is gathering attention in the northern Greek city of Drama, where the breathtaking street art was painted on the side of an apartment building.
Using the building’s 15-foot wide wall as his canvas, street artist Lefteris Toulis, trained at the renowned School of Fine Arts in Thessaloniki, created a graffiti masterpiece reflecting Greece under lockdown.
The piece shows a figure, modeled after classical Greek sculpture, framed by an ancient temple and a traditional, nineteenth-century home, both distinctly Greek.
