“The New York City-based artist, Sean Yoro, who goes by Hula, produces hyperrealistic murals of woman from his paddle board. He’s seen bobbing along the current, one hand steadying himself as he adds fine details and decorative tattoos to the ladies’ skin. Hula paints his subjects at the water’s edge on unassuming concrete walls. Part of their heads and shoulders are shown, but the rest of them seemingly exists below sea level. It’s as if these larger-than-life women are taking a leisurely dip. Their placement also has a mirroring effect and allows their portraits to extend beyond the wall. On the water, they appear in an opposing style – fractured and abstract. Hula grew up on the island of Oahu in Hawaii and spent a lot of time on the water.”
Be sure to check out his portfolio of work at Hula.com or on Instagram.

You know me — I love unique art like this! I will research more of him! His pic in the water reminds me of the Giant Mermaid Statue taking a bath in the German Lake (http://newsfeed.time.com/2011/08/07/giant-woman-sculpture-makes-waves-in-german-lake/) back in 2011, Strangely compelling.
