Even on vacation, Miami Marlins superstar Giancarlo Stanton can’t stop thinking about his teammate Jose Fernandez … and paid tribute to the late pitcher with some graffiti art in Brazil. 

Stanton — along with teammate A.J. Ramos and L.A. Angels pitcher Ricky Nolasco — teamed up with street artist Tito Na Rua and transformed a wall in Rio to a colorful memorial to “Nino.”

All three players signed their names and jersey numbers on the art which features the word, “Saudades” … which is a Brazilian saying that loosely translates to “a feeling of longing.”

Fernandez died in a boating accident in Miami last month — he was only 24.
