Water is Panama's main resource and a cloudy sky is an essential and non-negotiable part of it. In spite - or because - of it everything under Panama's grey sky seems to be wonderfully tinted. Buildings are no exception. The colour palettes are endless - primary, colonial, pastel - and the quirky colour combinations, something one can't help loving.

"Somos Luz" is a wonderful project by Boa Mistura in the Chorrillo neighbourhood in Panama City made for the Bienal del Sur. Boa Mistura uses urban art to enhance deprived neighbourhoods across the globe.
Sadly, the beautiful mural got partially painted over.
