The Municipal Office of Graffiti directed by Rebeca Pérez from the Department of Works and Services and dependent on Ferrovial Services, has completed a new mural within the initiative "Great Walls in Pedanias" in which the artists Kraser, Nels, Pigüo and Chapu, They have merged to pay tribute to the Cabezo de Torres Carnival, which has been captured in a mediating part of the building in C / Comunidad, next to the festival grounds and the Cabezo de Torres Town Hall and has an approximate size of 10x12m.

"MASKS" (Masks) is the name chosen for this mural that has been developed over three days, and that has required two lifting platforms, more than 220 spray cans and 50 Kg of plastic paints.

Kraser in his style based on realism has drawn a person with a dog mask (an animal that represents the nobility of people) as well as a mask with rabbit ears and a pig's nose hanging from his disguise, making allegory to a nose of removes and put.

Pigüo has decorated the costume with perspectives and geometries typical of his style, referring to the colorful and so characteristic texture of the Carnival costumes.

On the other hand, Nels has fused the traditional wild style graffiti between the geometric figures, as well as lettering textures integrated between these figures.

Finally, the artist Chapu in his style has painted the typical carnival mask, which is made up of colorful and funny animals.

The forehead shows a pair of elephants, the nose represented by a frog or the cheeks of the mask that are represented by two snails.

The feathers so characteristic of these masks are represented by two parrots.
