I Turned The Novel “The Alchemist” Into An 85m Long Painting In A Highschool

ADVERTISEMENT

During the Street Art Festival “Dans & Sur Les Murs” in May 2016 I was invited by the Jeanne D’Albret Highschool in France to paint a 85 meters long wall. I based my work on the world famous novel The Alchemist written by Paulo Coelho which inspired me to follow my dreams as an artist.

It took me a month to complete the fresco proposing the students to help me during their breaks.

The fresco contains numerous hidden messages and symbolic meanings that every each of us can interpret according to our lifes.

I wrote a document giving my vision of the whole work that students can access.

I was very proud to inaugurate the wall with the mayor of the city at the end of the project.
