THIS APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN AN UNOFFICIAL MURAL
PASSAGE IS A MURAL BY NETO VETTORELLO [UNOFFICIAL STREET ART GALLERY IN WATERFORD AUGUST 2026]
Neto Vettorello: The Passage
Glass House Lane, Waterford | August 2026
Neto Vettorello is an internationally celebrated Italian-Brazilian contemporary muralist whose large-scale works span more than thirty countries. Having established a strong base in Ireland, Vettorello has been an active contributor to the Waterford Walls Festival, bridging the gap between large-scale commissioned public art and grassroots paint jams.
Artistic Style & Philosophy
Vettorello’s visual language explores ancestral spirituality, deep ecology, and the liminal boundary between urban structures and sacred nature. Central to his practice is the iconic figure Tani É—a symbolic spiritual voyager with a signature drop-shaped face that navigates the tension between urban chaos and transcendent inner worlds.
The Mural
In this Glass House Lane piece, titled The Passage, Vettorello turns a narrow alleyway into an expansive, three-dimensional portal opening onto a luminescent jungle waterfall.
Composition: A monumental, twisting circular wooden gateway frames the scene, anchoring the perspective and drawing the viewer’s eye toward a serene blue light source.
Narrative: At the threshold of the stone walkway, the stylised figure of Tani É ventures forward into the mystical landscape, turning coarse masonry into an immersive meditation on discovery and sacred geography.
