And to wrap up this recap of the most exciting news from the past few months…My mural ‘Rough Gemstones’ is now a part of Luton’s townscape, thanks to the incredible support of Luton BID, Luton Borough Council, Luton Mall, and The Culture Trust Luton. I’m very grateful to have contributed to the town’s vibrant cultural scene!

”Rough Gemstones Mural embodies the essence of hidden potential and diversity in Luton. Created by international artist Silvia Lerín, this visually striking project, sponsored by Luton’s key stakeholders, promises to transform Silver Street/Library Road in September 2024. With its vibrant colours and intricate geometric layout, the mural celebrates the city’s multicultural brilliance, symbolising 225,262 individuals as gemstones in need of recognition. Embracing the brutalist architecture’s unique charm, ‘Rough Gemstones’ is set to illuminate Luton with its message of opportunity and unity, showcasing the city’s true shine waiting to be polished.”
