A Huge Portrait of Greta Thunberg in San Francisco

A Swedish teenage girl is making a name for herself among climate activists. Her name is Greta Thunberg and you have probably heard of her before.

Argentine artist Andres Petreselli (also known as "Cobre") took the liberty of painting a 60-foot high mural of the environmental activist in San Francisco, which was unveiled on November 12 in downtown Mason Street near Union Square. Greta made more headlines after launching "Fridays for Future". At the age of 15, she spent her Fridays, when she was supposed to be at school, in front of the parliament buildings in her home country, advocating for attention to the climate and ecological crisis.

Cobre is known for her grandiose and realistic portraits. He was hired by a local non-profit organization to create this work just over a year ago.
