Pura Decadencia has smashed it with this gorgeous piece of writing alongside the M32, behind the Black Swan. Her overall style and skill had been on an upward trajectory over the years, and she is now turning out some outstanding graffiti writing pieces.

The regular letters are filled with yellow, light blue and green with patterns reversed out from colour to colour. The letters are bordered confidently with a thick red line that helps the letters stand out. A yellow plasma line runs through the piece, and it is all presented on a black buffed wall, without which it would risk being swamped by surrounding artwork. Excellent graffiti writing from Pura Decadencia.

Painted alongside a piece I featured recently by Desi, this super writing by Pura Decadencia took me several attempts to photograph on account of the wrong light conditions each time I visited. This third attempt was, as you can see, was on an unusually welcome overcast day.

Pura has been teaming up with Desi on a couple of occasions now, and they seem to be bringing out the best in each other. Pura’s letters are clear, regular and quite large, providing plenty of scope for playing about with fills. She has nicely blended three pink tones and added in some reversed spots to jazz things up a little. The atmospheric background is in a style I am seeing more frequently on the streets at the moment, a particular favourite technique used by Sub, for example. No vampire teeth this time, but a fine example of Pura Decadencia’s work.
