Le Long, a street artist, secured the house owner’s consent to paint his murals in late March 2020, when Vietnam was resolutely battling COVID-19.
The wall paintings remain to command the full attention of passers-by at the Van Phu residential quarter in Ha Dong District, Hanoi.
Everyone stops to have a look at the coronavirus, vaccine, or earth imagery whenever they go past the four-story building.
Long spray-painted all the images in order to convey the message “Stay Strong – Let’s Stay Home.”
He had searched for information and images on the Internet and transformed them into colorful murals.
He even hired a crane to reach the walls as high as 20 meters on the top floor.
