San Telmo is the oldest neighbourhood in Buenos Aires and is popular with travelers and backpackers with its large number of hostels and lower-budget hotels. The bohemian ‘barrio’ is also well-known for its Sunday street market along calle Defensa, antique shops, covered market and tango performances in Plaza Dorrego.

The artist was contacted by local residents to paint a new mural and brighten up the street. The wall was previously decorated with a mural by French artist Chloe Tiravy painted in 2012 that had deteriorated.
