A Hawaiian street artist painted an incredible mural in Canada that shows a woman disappearing and reemerging with the changing tide.
Sean Yoro used non-toxic paint to keep the waters as clean as possible to create his 30 by 45 foot masterpiece at the Bay of Fundy in eastern Canada.
For legal purposes, he did not disclose where exactly the artwork is located. He had to paint quickly as well with the tide that changed approximately one foot every 15 minutes, he told CNN on Tuesday.
Yoro told CNN: ‘Calculating the lifespan is very difficult because of variables such as sunlight and currents around the wall itself, but a safe estimate would have it lasting two to three months.’

he said that ‘calculating the lifespan is very difficult because of variables such as sunlight and currents around the wall itself, but a safe estimate would have it lasting two to three months’
In total it took him nine days to complete the mural and he had to paint quickly and consider the tide
But with using the eco-friendly paints, Yoro said the artwork could last up to two years under perfect conditions.
He had to experiment with different kinds of paints and work with a wall that was already wet. It took him nine days to complete the artwork.
According to his Facebook, Yoro is a self-taught street artist who grew up on the east side of the island Oahu. He discovered his passion for graffiti and tattooing in his late teenage years.
Yoro – known by his artist name Hula – transforms the dilapidated constructions by balancing on a paddle board to paint the enormous faces and figures, often with tribal markings on their bodies.
He moved to New York to pursue his career and painted semi-submerged murals in the water.

His designs can brighten up even the dullest of buildings, and leave visitors with pleasant memories that could have so easily have been negative.
Hula writes: ‘Merging his backgrounds in both street and fine art, Hula works entirely with oil paint and uses traditional techniques to create soft, female figures interacting with the surface of the water.’
‘Hula’s work often leaves you feeling an array of emotions while proposing an environmental discussion.’
Some images show just a woman’s head, as if emerging from the water, while others show women at angles, as if they are swimming.
