Il murale si compone di tre parti: la figura principale svetta in maniera imponente sulla facciata principale dell’immobile e le altre due figure sono state dipinte su due pareti frontali nel cortile adiacente. Percorrendo la via si nota quindi la grande figura rappresentante il mito di Ganimede, un pastore che stringe sulle sue spalle un’aquila; Ganimede guarda il passante in maniera fiera e decisa. Nel cortile si trovano gli altri personaggi collegati alla storia del mito: il cane da pastore e i due capi di bestiame. Lo stile è molto forte e rappresentativo dell’artista: le forme bianche e nere, il contrasto, i riferimenti al fumetto underground.
The mural is made up of three parts: the main character towers imposingly over the main façade of the building and the other two characters are painted on two front walls in the adjacent courtyard. As you walk along the street, you therefore notice the large character representing the myth of Ganymede, a shepherd clutching an eagle on his shoulders; Ganymede looks proudly and confidently at passers-by. The other characters linked to the myth are located in the courtyard: the shepherd dog and the two heads of cattle. The style of the artwork is very powerful and representative of the artist: the black and white shapes, the contrast, the references to underground comics.
