This is one built on a steep hillside slums, most prominent external walls can not be coated with paint. The excellence of Diamante de las Semillitas is evident in the scale of the project. The work covers a large area, incorporating several private dwellings and serves to frame and identify a neighborhood baseball playing field. The brightly painted panels invite young baseball players to imagine hitting the ball out of the park and onto the target. The project brought neighbors together to work out the details of the walls that the neighborhood would look like, and it brought the possibility of painting walls that, given their condition, had been difficult to paint. The brightly painted and sharp panels shine like diamonds fallen from the sky, sparking the imaginations of future artists and participants from the municipality.
