Not many muralists can say their work is seen by hundreds of thousands of people every day, but Chicago artist Asend can make that claim. LatinoVoicesWTTW
Asend, who started out as a graffiti artist, said the theme was chosen to be as universal and uplifting as possible because of the mural’s prominent placement.“We’re in an area of downtown, West Loop, where there are a ton of restaurants, you get a lot of foot traffic here, you got the highway, you got about 400,000, 500,000 cars a day,” the artist said. “‘Love always wins’ is just a message for everyone that passes by here and something that includes everyone in the city.
Coupled with Chicago’s windy weather, it presented some technical challenges he had not faced before. “Each of those blue petals are … about 7 feet tall and from here they look tiny,” Asend said. “I didn’t want to cut any corners. Every petal, every fade, every shade highlight. It had to be there exactly how I designed it. I think every flower has at least seven, eight layers of spray paint.”
