Mural by Mariana Duarte Santos of a grocer in the 50s, Street mural in Arroios, Portugal.
This mural by Mariana Duarte Santos depicts a grocer from the 1950s with detailed illustrations on the exterior wall of a building in Arroios. The artwork shows period clothing, shop products, and store arrangements rendered at a large scale.
Created in 2021, this mural documents the traditional small shop commerce that was widespread in mid-twentieth century Portugal. It preserves the appearance and everyday life of an era when this kind of business shaped city quarters.
The mural captures how neighbors once gathered and shopped in local stores that were central to community life. It shows the social connections that existed between shopkeepers and residents in this quarter.
The artwork is located on a building exterior and can be viewed at any time without needing to enter any space. It serves as a helpful landmark for exploring the Arroios area and is easy to access.
The artist used historical photographs as references to render period-accurate details, from hairstyles to the merchandise displayed in the shop. This careful research transforms the work into a visual history book of the neighborhood.
