There’s an extraordinary mural in Barrio Logan. It’s one of my favorites.
The spray painted art appears to feature Kokopelli, the flute-playing fertility deity from some Native American cultures in the Southwest. The landscapes and dwellings in this mural might indicate the people being portrayed are the Hopi. But I can’t say for certain. I’ve walked past this mural three different times searching for an artist signature, so that I could do more research, but to no avail.
The mural was painted on a row of three small buildings along Main Street, just southeast of the Coronado Bay Bridge. I asked a postal delivery person during one walk if he knew anything about the mural, and was told it has been there for years. Another person who works in one of the buildings could provide no information.
What follows is a series of photographs that I took walking along the sidewalk by this amazing mural, from right to left.

What an amazing mural, evidently created by a very humble artist who didn’t sign it. I love the beauty you continue to discover in San Diego Richard and grateful that you share it with us.

Peggy and I have often come across Kokopelli as we visited various petroglyph sites throughout the Southwest, Richard. He can be a bit R-rated. 🙂 –Curt
