Imposing graffiti depicting Poseidon, the Greek god of the sea, in a powerful and contemporary representation. The figure with green skin and flowing grey-blue beard emerges from the clouds wielding his iconic golden trident, with fiery red eyes that give a threatening and supernatural aura. A crown of golden thorns encircles his head, merging mythological iconography and modern symbolism. This monumental work celebrates Bristol's historic link with the sea - the city was for centuries one of the most important ports in England, departure point for explorers and merchants to the New World.
