Local artist Tatiana Ortiz Rubio is bringing more color to Barrio Logan thanks to a mural installation on the silo of Bread & Salt gallery.
The mural is displayed as part of the “Your Actions Save Lives” campaign by the state of California to raise awareness about continuing to do our part to reduce the spread of COVID-19. It is one of 12 original works being shared in public places throughout California. The state partnered with local artists to “reach disproportionately impacted communities with empowering messages of resilience, public health and community,” according to a statement.
The mural which measures at 30 feet by 45 feet and is visible from Interstate 5 and the Coronado Bridge is titled “Stop the Spread” and, according to Ortiz Rubio, the piece is meant to provide comfort to those who have lost loved ones due to coronavirus.
