Mind-blowing Ancestors mural near Chicano Park.

Wow! Check out this mind-blowing street mural, which caught my eye just across Dewey Street from Chicano Park. Titled Ancestors, it was spray-painted on a Barrio Logan building in 2013 by artists Maxx Moses and Isaias Crow.

A little online research reveals that Ancestors replaced another damaged mural on the same wall, which was titled Synergy. Maxx Moses likes to use spontaneity in his creative productions, and calls his unique art movement Concrete Alchemy. Isaias Crow’s artwork, which I believe is on the right side of the mural, is similarly awesome!

This dazzling urban art is directly across the street from world-famous Chicano Park.

    1. The park is directly beneath the Coronado Bay Bridge, where it connects with Interstate 5. Google Chicano Park and it should show a little map–click it and you’ll see all the streets!

  2. Now that’s what I call street art. Thanks for the pictures, Richard and tanks for the follow. San Diego has now been added to my list of must sees next time I hit the west coast.

  4. Wow, indeed. I really like your blog & am about to click on the “Follow.” Thanks for following mine, which led me to yours. I feel we have lots in common — walking, curiosity, being downtowners, interest in a range of art, and suitable modesty about our photos…
