Reminiscent of the work of Russian street artist Nomerz (previously featured here), Brazilian street artist Andre Muniz Gonzaga also gives life to rocks, walls and other inanimate urban surfaces by painting wonderful faces on them. Andre’s sites are carefully selected and often found in run down or poverty-stricken urban areas. We can’t help but wonder if he spots the faces lurking beneath the interesting textures and contours of his chosen surfaces and simply brings them out using his artistic skills. (We also suspect that those walls and rocks might have a tendency to blink or wink as soon as you’ve passed by.)
