As the planet continues to honor the life and legacy of Nelson Mandela, street artists Os Gemeos have offered up their condolences and appreciation in the form of an amazing portrait mural that features a smiling Mandela in a colorful floral shirt. The portrait looks exactly like the late leader and has all the distinct features and style of Os Gemeos' trademark figures. This photo of the piece was posted to Instagram with the quote (both in English and Portuguese), "Poverty is not an accident. Like slavery and apartheid, it is man-made and can be removed by the actions of human beings- RIP Mandela."
