One of the things about finding street art in a place that isn’t your home, is that you will come across artists that you are unfamiliar with, and that is certainly the case here with this fabulous portrait piece by Elno at the Lighthouse Community Garden in Stratford.

Elena Gonzalez Nieto also known as ELNO, is a Spanish visual artist based in London since 2014 (taken from her fabulous website) who it would seem specialises in stunning portrait pieces elaborated with bright colourful backgrounds. Although painted last year, the piece looks fresh and vibrant – definitely a candidate for Upfest I would have thought.

Never saw that one but have pix of quite a few of her works from all over the place – Croydon, Hackney Wick, Brick Lane / Star Yard, Penge and there’s one that’s still partially visible high up on Leake Street tunnel that’s been there for aeons

That’s the monkey. I’ll need to dig it out, now that you’ve made the link with the artist.
