Pelado is painting a huge mural on a factory building in Barracas that includes portraits of real life people and workers from the neighbourhood. The project is the third phase of the mural project named ‘The Return of Quinquela’ that stretches an entire block close to the Riachuelo River.

Pelado has been painting the largest mural in Buenos Aires and what is thought to be the biggest created by a single artist in Argentina. The giant artwork measuring 1,300 m2 in Barracas by the banks of the Riachuelo river is called ‘The Return of Quinquela’ (‘El Regreso de Quinquela’) and features a portrait of the Argentine painter Benito Quinquela Martin as its centrepiece.
