Mexican Murals - Market Corner in Tepoztlán [CCC's Street Art Contest #312]
Published on HivePostify by @stortebeker · Fri Aug 07 2026
Today I would like to present a very simple, yet vibrant mural from the center of Tepoztlán, where the street Av. Galeana turns into Av. Ignacio Zaragoza as it crosses 5 de Mayo which in turn becomes Del Tepozteco (as that is the way to go up to the Tepozteco site).
I like this wall painting for its sheer simplicity. Unlike many other murals, painted almost photo-realistically, with lots of skills, this particular piece is more like the doodling on your notebook. Okay, admittedly, it's pretty awesome level of doodling, but still...! While I certainly love the incredibly realistic images too, I also want to appreciate these simpler kinds of murals.
IT includes lots of hearts, with and without wings, flowers and other plants, all strewn around randomly... and a feline character in midst of all. Is it a jaguar? Or maybe an ocelot? It would make sense, as the image seems to be signed by someone going by that name. Together with [Luis Baturoni](https://www.instagram.com/luisbaturoni/) this piece was apparently created by Ocelotl. Since I could not find an artist by this name, maybe it actually is the cat in the mural.
