Katoomba Water Tank Art - New South Wales

Working in conjunction with Street Art Murals Australia (SAMA) and Sydney Water, world-renowned Mexican street artist Peque has painted the water tank in Katoomba.

The artist spent two weeks in 2015 painting the 144 square metre mural on the Katoomba Water Reservoir in Valley Road. It depicts an aquarium full of aquatic marine life, to demonstrate the enormity of the tank and the volume of water that it holds.

Peque's work brings an innovative solution to the real problem of graffiti on Sydney Water assets and will help prevent future graffiti in the area, and will significantly reduce the future cost of removing graffiti.

Peque grew up in Guadalajara and moved to Sydney with his family, to become an Australian resident in 2012.
