Painted at the Creative park of Beau Plan, in Beau Plan Smart City, next to L'Aventure du Sucre, one of the most interesting museum in Mauritius. This was commissioned by La Isla Social club, an arts and culture club in Mauritius and was part of the live painting for their event Dreamers X.
The concept: The site was extremely inspirational for this street art. Over the years, the location has grown from being a mere sugar estate, to one of the biggest in the north of Mauritius and is paving the way to accommodate a smart city. The phrase painted, "Lavi enn zoli vwayaz" means "Life is a beautiful adventure" and kind of represents what happened over there over the decades.
Our native language was only spoken, but it's only until recently that an official dictionary has been approved and same is being taught in schools and used in advertising campaigns. Not many Mauritian artists make use of wordings in their art pieces and I am making the most of this lacking element by incorporating a lot of Mauritian Creole words/text which in turn make the work more relatable to the people coming across them - same as for this one.
