Congratulations to young Spanish illustrator and artist Constanca Duarte, @a_inconstancia for completing her street-art collection painted on electrical boxes in Porto. Artists are brightening up the streets of Porto with their work. Constanca fears the character of Porto is being lost due to pressures from tourism and her art is her way of keeping Portuguese tradition alive.It’s tough making a living as an artist, no less so in Porto, good luck Constanca! #ainconstancia https://www.instagram.com/p/CtHexMeMMf7/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
