Dimalow Promenade Street Art, Valparaiso
The small square, situated at the exit of the upper station of the Queen Victoria elevator has been transformed into a vibrant open-air museum paying homage to the renowned cartoonist Renzo Pecchenino. Following a revitalization in 2014, this square has become a captivating canvas, blending urban art with the spirit of Lukas. In collaboration with the Municipality of Valparaíso and the Lukas Foundation, artists Cynthia Aguilera, also known as Cines, and Sammy Espinoza, recognized as Jekse or Jehkse, form the artistic duo Unkolordistinto. Together, they have adorned the walls and storefronts of the Square with captivating recreations of characters from the Bestiario del Reyno de Chile.
Dimalow Promenade begins with Casa Vander, a boutique hotel situated in the square, and offers breathtaking views of Concepción Hill and the Lutheran Church of La Santa Cruz.
Renowned for both its scenic vistas and vibrant street art, Dimalow Promenade is a popular destination for locals and visitors alike. As you stroll along the promenade, you'll encounter impressive murals, including the striking character painted by The Wooden Robot. This mural, visible from the start of the promenade on the north face of a building, features an immense figure with a burning tower on its chest.
