Guayacán

Artwork: Mural by Millo, Guayacán, Medellín, Columbia, 2025

Artist Millo has created yet another wonderful mural for the Medellín Streetart Festival in Columbia. The mural is titled Guayacán, which is an amazing tree found in Medellín, and he wrote this about the project and its inspiration:

“Medellín, is a bustling metropolis, nestled amidst breathtaking natural beauty, I would say an extraordinary urban jungle, where the tropical flora and fauna intertwine with the city’s rhythm, creating a truly one-of-a-kind environment. 
Among these natural wonders, the Guayacán tree stands out, holding a a special place in the Medellín people’s hearts : it’s blooming, lived as a cherished event, it’s a symbol of hope and renewal. 
During my time in the city, I was struck by the numerous stories shared with me about this magnificent tree, each person I met had a personal connection to it, a memory or anecdote that highlighted its significance in their lives. 
My mural artwork aims to celebrate Medellín’s unique way of loving and living in harmony with nature, their profound and fascinating connection, something that I feel sometimes almost lost in this other side of the world.”
