Ruben Sanchez paints a wall in JLT, Dubai


  • English
  • Arabic

As part of an ING initiative, Spanish street artist Ruben Sanchez painted this really cool mural on one of Jumeirah Lakes Towers’s external walls in Dubai. Although street art projects are slowly surfacing around the city, a piece of this scale has yet to be incorporated permanently into Dubai’s commercial setting.

We have always admired Sanchez’s work since he completed his first residency in Tashkeel and love this colourful addition to JLT.

It is a preview to the ING creative conference set to take place on March 27-28, which we look forward to seeing.
