Was really looking forward to seeing this… I think it’s either a Chilean or Peruvian artist who ended up setting up home in rio. He started collecting tiles and decorating the steps outside his studio and people started bringing him more tiles from all all the world resulting in this loveliness. I warn you now, I was very inspired by this and took loads of pix.
Yes, don’t laugh, but here’s me in my traveller get up; note the zip off trousers, lol.
We were able to go into the artist’s studio. He has a thing for pregnant women who heavily (excuse the pun) feature in his work.
BTW: just found out from some other travellers, that the artist was murdered a few of days ago; think a couple of days before I had visited. So the story goes, his apprentice got mad with him and burnt him to death… Strange, but not sure how true!
