WOOL x Cale 2013

When the organisers challenged us to be part of CALE, a “voluntarily popular, artistic and festive, dedicated to street arts and all artistic intersections” festival, we invited Pantónio, the first urban art artist to paint in the city of Fundão. He created three murals on the historical centre’s main road inspired by the memories of those living there and the street’s commercial past, specifically a former hat shop.

As he created the mural, the owner of the “Pastelaria Formiga” (coffee and cake house called Ant), a centuries-old establishment right next door, would offer him cakes. To thank her, Pantónio decided to paint a lovely little ant on the shop’s front.
