Amazing new murals completed as part of Féile's 'Graffiti On The Walls'

Over recent weeks progress has been steadily progressing on the latest murals for Central Drive in Creggan.

As part of the successful Féile's 'Graffiti On The Walls'  initiative, funded by The Executive Office, the latest mural by Friz, 'The Dryad', was completed today.

Dryads were tree spirits in Irish and Greek mythology and were said to be the protectors of the trees and the forests.

The mural is inspired by Doire (oak grove) and the sacred position that the oak tree held for Ireland's ancestors. 

The second mural is entitled 'Younger days' by Emic.

The artwork features a young person walking in nature. The figure blends together with the foliage to represent growth with birds taking off into the sky to represent achievement.

Younger days' by Emic, Central Drive, Creggan.  

The dusky colours are intended to be warm and peaceful.

The mural took inspiration from the poem 'Blackberry Picking' by Seamus Heaney, which is a nostalgic look back at his lost youth and growing up.
