• Minimalist Blue Figures: A mural featuring bright blue minimalist figures with white outlines on a black surface. This street art piece stands out for its naive style and abstract characters in various poses. The mural is signed by street artist "Efdot" in the bottom right corner.
• The Corner Mural (Ochava): Located on a corner building, this black and white graffiti-style mural—characteristic of urban art projects in Buenos Aires—features human figures contorted in an abstract manner using thick lines that create interconnected shapes. The artwork, created in 2024 by artists Flor Ojanguren (@florojan) and Leti Bonetti (@letti.b), portrays calm and love. It was based on a photograph taken by one of the artists featuring two strangers whom, to this day, they are still looking for.o https://www.instagram.com/florojan/reel/DDNlqLbPchi/• Tribute to Evaristo Carriego: A mural paying tribute to the Argentine poet Evaristo Carriego, known for portraying neighborhood life in Palermo.

The artwork highlights the phrase "Diego eterno" (Eternal Diego) and is located at a local headquarters (unidad básica) of the political organization La Cámpora.
• Maradona at the Restaurant: A mural of Diego Armando Maradona on the facade of a local restaurant. The artwork depicts Maradona from both the front and back, wearing the number 10 jersey of the Naples football club. The facade is painted blue, the emblematic color of the Italian club.
• Linear Abstract Facade: A facade intervened with street art featuring an abstract style with linear shapes and color blocks on a blue background. The artwork displays a signature on the right side that reads "MirT 23", indicating the artist and the year of creation.
• "Guiado por las lunas" (2023): This mural was created by artist Jorge Giacosa on the facade of his own house. The design features stylized figures with vibrant colors on a starry blue and yellow background.

It was entirely a non-commercial project.o https://www.instagram.com/p/Cv3njmKs6DF/
• The Shop Window Curiosities: In a shop window, you can spot vintage garden statues made of cement or resin. One of them depicts the classic literary character, Pinocchio, in a traditional back-to-school pose, holding a red apple in his right hand and a schoolbook under his left arm. Right behind Pinocchio, another figure can be seen that appears to be a gaucho, cowboy, or regional character with a hat, mustache, and goatee.

Fragments of the linear mural along Juan B. Justo Avenue, between Paraguay and Soler. The artwork was created and curated in 2024 by POGO, an urban art production company.
Unfortunately, today a large part of this impressive mural (the upper section, near the train tracks) has been vandalized and ruined.
