Unknown [Angel of Reno]

Christina Angelina's mural, painted during the Inaugural Reno Sculpture Fest in 2015, features a young female figure wearing a dark grey hood over her long wavy black hair. She looks directly at the viewer, and holds a silver frame against her body. The mural was painted using a palette of blues, grays, silver and black and using a technique wherein the paint streams down from the very top of the mural to create movement in the composition. Due to the mural's considerably large scale (approximately 35 x 80 ft.), spanning the entire height of a seven-story parking garage, the young woman seems to look down upon or watch over the downtown-Reno area. After being told by a homeless man in Reno that the young woman is his angel, Angelina said: "That people sleep under this artwork to feel safer downtown [m]akes me like this piece even more" (https://www.instagram.com/p/BUx2SQUlhIj/?hl=en&taken-by=starfightera).
