Detroit artist Elton Monroy Duran unveiled his new mural in Southwest Detroit. The mural is called “The Duality Mural” and it’s part of Metro by T-Mobile’s “Metro Murals” program. Originally from Hildago, Mexico, Elton has been living in Detroit since 2014. One of my favorite murals by Elton is his art depiction of Frida.

This mural is located on the side of the XOCHI’S Gift Shop building. He also completed a beautiful mural over the summer in honor of Detroit music artist Sixto Rodriguez. Metro by T-Mobile kicked off its Metro Murals program in Southwest Detroit to honor the community and its rich culture.

In an Instagram post, Elton wrote, “I chose to portray these special individuals because they represent not only the carrying on of our cultural heritage, but also our everyday ‘hustle”.
