The artists

Inspired by murals from other parts of the world, and in particular, Brazil, AEC (Aleksei Bordusov) and Waone (Wladimir Manzhos) formed Interesni Kazki duo, which  became known for their unique style of contemporary muralism with graffiti roots. Merging science fiction, fantasy, and Ukrainian religion and culture, they created their own dreamlike universe inhabited by mysterious subjects.

Their name means “interesting fables” and that is exactly what their work portrays. They explore themes of fantasy, dreams, magic and mysticism with a strong influence of religious and scientific imagery. They use solid, bright and extremely attractive color palettes.

The mural

Through this striking artwork, the duo showed an amazing artistic ability to create allegorical and figurative artworks without using direct imagery, so people can understand it freely, in their own way and according to their own imagination.

The only references to Mexican culture are the Chichen Itza pyramid, the sombrero, and the "Calavera" mask; however, the scene doesn't have an established interpretation.
