The new mural has appeared Yekaterinburg, TASS reports. It was painted by the artist from Argentina Elian Chali on the building of the Ural State Economic University. The work is a bright abstraction with a size of about 400 square meters.

The painting appeared during the Stenografiya International Street Art Festival. Artists from Russia, Spain, Germany, Greece, Finland and Argentina are participating in it. They paint the walls of houses and public transport in the Ural capital.

The organizers of the festival said that they tried to choose artists with different styles. German artists specializing in large format painting present their skills in the framework of the Year of Russia in Germany. 

Elian Chali left his drawings in 30 cities around the world. The artist himself said that it was no coincidence that he chose this particular site for his work. He was interested in the non-standard surface. And the key idea of ​​the artist's work was the desire to show that life in the city is more than just an everyday journey home from work.
