Atlantas or Women's Day

Av. Andalucía, 115, Estepona, Málaga, Spain

In Greek mythology, Atlas (Atlante) was a Titan who was forced by Zeus to carry the heavens upon his shoulders. This served as punishment for leading the Titan rebellion against Zeus in the Titanomachy. Usually, Atlas is decrypted as a man holding earth or heavens on his shoulders. Here is a fresh view: Atlanta or female Atlas.  Depicting a woman inspired by classical Greece, symbolizing femininity as a vital cornerstone of existence, this mural portrays her holding the world in her hands. Spanning an expansive surface area of 558 square feet, the artwork makes a powerful statement.
