Mural for health workers Location: Mexico City, Mexico Graffiti artist Alejandro Bautista painted a series of colorful art works to pay tribute to frontline medical staff (SOUNDBITE) (Spanish) GRAFFITI ARTIST, ALEJANDRO BAUTISTA, SAYING:''It means that they like it and it's meant to be encouraging.

I've received a lot of positive messages from nurses and doctors and it's positive.

I've seen that.

If it wasn't for the positivity, I would not be painting these murals and you wouldn't be here filming.

It's very positive and it's good that people like it.

It's good that I'm doing something good with my hands, for society and for the health sector.

They are on the front line and they need motivation.'' Bautista says he started this project hoping to stop the aggression and discrimination experienced by health workers across Latin America
