11. Flame Keepers — Mandi Caskey in Seneca Falls, New York
Mural by Mandi Caskey at 37 Fall Street in Seneca Falls, birthplace of the women’s rights movement in the United States. It shows two women passing a flame between their hands. The older woman wears a sash reading “1848 Vote for Women.” The background includes a crescent moon, clouds, and white butterflies.Mandi Caskey: Tribute to the enduring fight for women’s rights across generations. This mural captures an intimate moment of exchange. A suffragette passing a living flame into the hands of a modern woman. The fire represents knowledge, resilience, and the ongoing struggle for justice and equity. The suffragette’s steady presence honors the women of Seneca Falls who fought to secure the right to vote, while the younger woman receives the flame with reverence and determination, carrying that light forward into a more inclusive future. Both figures rise from the water, a symbol of rebirth and the roots of Seneca Falls, where the first Women’s Rights Convention reshaped history. Her sash belongs to the past. Her buttons belong to the present. And the moths gather in remembrance, for everyone, who gave their life to the cause. Let’s keep the light burning for all.

Buildings That Look Like They’re From a Dream (8 Photos)
From a church in Iceland that looks like a spaceship preparing for launch, to a house zipped open on a street in Milan — this collection showcases architecture at its most imaginative. Included are cliffside wartime refuges, storybook cottages, optical illusions, and centuries-old constructions that defy gravity or blend perfectly into mountains. These aren’t digital renderings — they’re real places from around the world.
More: 8 Beautiful Artworks That Seem to Grow From Nature
1. Unzipped Building — Alex Chinneck in Milan, Italy
A building facade appears to peel open like a jacket, with an oversized zipper curling away the wall to reveal its inner structure. This public installation by Alex Chinneck uses stone, concrete, and illusion to challenge how we perceive architecture.
2. King Alfred’s Tower — England
This red-brick triangular tower rises dramatically from the fog in Somerset, England. Built in 1772, it commemorates Alfred the Great and reaches over 49 meters high with a narrow footprint that adds to its illusion of impossibility.
3. Alpine Refuge — Monte Cristallo, Italy
Located at 2,760 meters in the Dolomites, this hidden wooden shelter from World War I is embedded directly into the rockface. Built for survival, it now appears like a dreamlike relic barely distinguishable from the mountain.
4. Hallgrímskirkja Church — Reykjavík, Iceland
This iconic Lutheran church, inspired by basalt columns and volcanic formations, dominates the Reykjavík skyline. Designed in 1937 and completed in 1986, its symmetry and scale evoke science fiction architecture.
5. The House That Sank — The Crooked House, UK
Built in 1765 on top of a mine shaft, this British pub developed a pronounced tilt as the ground beneath it slowly gave way. Despite its slanting angles, it remained a local favorite for centuries.
6. Organic Slate Roof House — Germany
This home with flowing lines and a wave-shaped slate roof blurs the line between fairy tale and high-end eco-architecture. Natural stone and soft curves give it a whimsical yet grounded appearance.
7. Cliff House — France (Built 1347)
Balanced between eras and gravity, this timber-framed upper house sits atop massive medieval stonework. Located in France and completed in 1347, it seems to hover above the road with support beams stretching underneath.
8. Rock-Built Homes — Sanaa, Yemen
Traditional Yemeni tower houses in Sanaa rise directly from the rock, combining ancient stone masonry with ornate white geometric window frames. The buildings appear both sculpted by nature and intricately human-made.These buildings bend our expectations of what architecture can be — not just structures, but expressions of ingenuity, adaptation, and creativity. Whether carved into mountains or dressed like zippers, they show that the line between surreal and real is thinner than it seems.

What are your inspirations or what inspires you?
Annatomix: I get inspiration for my work from a huge variety of places, but my main focus is around the relationship between humanity and nature – such as how humanity tries to force nature to do what it wants, and how futile that is.
I read a lot and I particularly enjoy philosophy, theology and mythology – the more ancient, the better – and this also has a big influence on what I create.

This upside-down mural is upright in reflection
Content warning: This mural transforms its meaning when reflected in the water—what appears upside-down on the wall becomes upright magic in the river’s reflection.
“Floating World” by Ray Bartkus in Marijampolė, Lithuania.
This remarkable mural by Ray Bartkus was intentionally painted upside-down to create a magical effect. The swimmers, rowers, and swans appear right-side-up only when reflected in the waters of the Šešupė River, which flows through the heart of the city.
Visitors to the old dam are invited to rediscover the mural’s beauty time and time again. As Bartkus explains:
“The drawing itself is created in reverse, and its true form is revealed only in the water’s reflection. I hope that every time people pass by, they will discover something new, because this artwork, like our days in life, is never the same as it was yesterday.”
What do you think about the mural that reveals itself when you look at its reflection in the water?
Befor and After!: A Masterpiece in Poznań’s Historic Środka District
Content warning: Explore Poznań’s Śródka district and its breathtaking 3D mural by Ryszard Paprocki. This vibrant masterpiece brings history to life, transforming an ordinary wall into a lively scene of historic charm and cultural celebration. A must-see for art enthusias
Located in the charming Śródka district of Poznań, Poland, an eye-catching mural by artist Radosław Barek has become a beloved attraction.
Found east of Ostrów Tumski on ul. Śródka 3, the mural transports viewers to Śródka in the 1920s, featuring a vibrant cast of characters that include a rotund butcher, a trumpeter, a cat, and Władysław Odonic, the Duke of all Greater Poland during that era.
What makes this mural particularly impressive is its clever use of three-dimensional illusions, making the artwork appear to rise up as a colorful mirage amidst the quaint village atmosphere of Śródka when approached from the east (tram stop Rondo Śródka).
More in Poland: Before And After (10 Photos)
The idea for the mural was conceived by Gerard Cofta, a long-time Śródka resident.
Artist Radosław Barek then utilized preserved photographs of the old Śródka as inspiration for the concept of painting several houses on the wall using spatial illusions. The mural, titled “The Story of Śródka with a Trumpeter on the Roof and a Cat in the Background,” brings to life the red roofs, colorful facades, and lively atmosphere of the past.
Śródka has always been a unique and historically rich district, with its origins dating back to the 13th century. After a period of decline in the 1960s due to urban development, the area underwent a major revitalization in 2007, transforming it into a hip and bustling neighborhood that attracts crowds every weekend.
The mural, which was painted by a team of four to eight people over a month, has drawn attention not only from Poland but also from around the world. Its images have been featured on prominent websites dedicated to architecture and beyond. This stunning piece of street art has breathed new life into the Śródka district and may inspire similar projects for other buildings in the area.

In the heart of Lyon, France, adorning the façade of a building, stands the magnificent Wall of the Silk Weavers (La Fresque des Canuts)
This enormous mural, painted in the trompe-l’oeil style, mesmerizes viewers with its hyperrealistic imagery and intricate details, offering a captivating glimpse into the everyday life of the La Croix-Rousse neighborhood.
Created by the talented group of mural painters known as CitéCréation, the mural first came to life in 1987 as a tribute to the neighborhood’s rich history. La Croix-Rousse once served as the bustling center of Lyon’s silk industry during the 19th century, earning it the nickname “the hill that works.” The mural, known as “Le Mur des Canuts,” pays homage to the silk weavers who resided and toiled in this vibrant community.
The mural captures the essence of the neighborhood’s past, featuring colorful buildings, pastel-hued high windows, a stone stairway, a charming Guignol theater, and, of course, a silk shop. Every detail is meticulously crafted to create a three-dimensional effect, seamlessly blending art with the architectural heritage of Lyon.
La Croix-Rousse’s silk industry may have diminished over time, but the mural stands as a testament to the resilience and determination of the silk workers who once rebelled against their oppressive working conditions in 1831. Their courageous spirit continues to echo through the vibrant streets of La Croix-Rousse.
Throughout the years, the mural has undergone two updates, in 1997 and 2013, reflecting the evolving landscape and spirit of the neighborhood. Today, it remains one of Europe’s largest displays of public art, drawing visitors from far and wide to admire its grandeur and immerse themselves in Lyon’s rich cultural heritage.
As you wander the streets of Lyon, be sure to seek out this awe-inspiring mural, marvel at its trompe-l’oeil mastery, and become enthralled by the story it tells. The Wall of the Silk Weavers is not just a painting; it is a living testament to the history, artistry, and indomitable spirit of La Croix-Rousse.

By Muraleslian in Ondarroa, Spain.
Muraleslian: For centuries, the women of Ondarroa managed the most important activities of village life. This mural is a tribute to many of those women.
The weaver, methodical and austere is an archetype that refuses to submit, she is living memory. When she weaves, she weaves something more than what we see with the naked eye.
The net’s creation is individual and collective identity… and we already know that collective identity is impossible without memory, it must be maintained by memory. To remember is to make visible, to claim, to repair. And as a weaver in Ondarroa said not long ago: “you have to fix things, you have to dignify them”.
The nets she and many others weave are networks that hold and maintain the community together. In between the threads arise woven tales through which lived stories are narrated.
Sometimes the practice of a trade leads to introspection, silence and remembrance, and other times it leads to words, solidarity and the search for solutions to common problems. When the activity is publicly exposed (when it is practised outdoors), the ability to transmit, the desire to share experience and the importance of the processes are made public.
This mural is also, in part, a legacy in the practice of sharing. Its anchored in this town, in this neighbourhood – as a contribution to the exercise of memory: meticulous hands of women, hands of woman past and present, THE HANDS OF MANY IN THIS TOWN, creating reality and at the same time eroding old archetypes based on oblivion and invisibilization.
It is an invitation to continue threading the true legacy of all those who have not ceased to weave/create/concoct, that is: let us continue to weave together!…

“Saint Peter Fisherman” by KTHR in L’Ametlla de Mar, Spain for Festival EFÍMURS.
KTHR: Here’s one of my paintings of Festival EFÍMURS which I paid tribute to the sacred patron of the fishermen. It’s been an honor for me to represent this character in one of the main buildings in town. Here in L’Ametlla de Mar, Saint Peter is celebrated every year and even though the new generations aren’t very religious the tradition and the believing of this entity is still important for all the fishermen. Represented with his characteristic white beard, his two keys and the pope’s ring also known as the fishermen ring. Wearing the actual yellow suit for fishermen and with the small detail of the fishing moment painted bellow this is how I pictured Saint Peter and hope everyone likes it as much as I enjoyed painting it for my hometown.

24 Times SMUG Made Walls Look More Real Than Life
In Glasgow, Scotland.
I’ve always been drawn to SMUG’s art—there’s just something amazing about how he brings everyday faces to life on such a massive scale.
Known worldwide for his super-realistic portraits, SMUG’s murals are incredibly detailed and often tower up to 14 stories high! His work isn’t just impressive; it’s a mix of creativity and skill, with each piece telling its own story through light, shadow, and careful detail.When SMUG starts a mural, he’s not just copying a photo; he’s adapting to the wall in front of him. Every wall, with its own texture and quirks, becomes part of the artwork. Seeing him turn these challenges into part of the art is what makes his work so incredible.

Get ready to be mesmerized by the fascinating world of 3D street art!
In today’s blog post, we’ll delve into the mind-bending realm of anamorphic masterpieces, as we explore how these optical illusions are created and what makes them so captivating. So, buckle up and let’s dive into the intriguing world of 3D street art!It’s all about perspective! The Art of Anamorphosis:
Creating Illusions Anamorphosis, the technique behind 3D street art, involves creating distorted images that only appear in their correct proportions when viewed from a specific angle or through a reflective device. This mind-blowing technique has been around since the Renaissance, but it wasn’t until the late 20th century that artists began applying it to the streets, transforming ordinary pavements into magical wonderlands.1

We can’t talk about 3D street art without mentioning its pioneers, Kurt Wenner and Julian Beever. Both artists started creating anamorphic illusions on the streets of Europe in the 1980s, revolutionizing the street art scene. Their innovative works have inspired a new generation of artists to experiment with perspective and create their own jaw-dropping 3D masterpieces.3

The Process: From Sketch to Lifelike Artwork
Creating 3D street art is a labor-intensive process that begins with a detailed sketch of the desired illusion. Artists then use mathematical calculations and perspective techniques to determine the correct proportions for the final piece. Once the groundwork is done, they meticulously apply chalk or paint to the pavement, using shading and highlights to bring the illusion to life.5

Damon Belanger, a graphic artist based in the San Francisco Bay Area, created a public art installation called “Fake Shadows” in Redwood City, California, USA. Funded by the Redwood City Public Art Program, this unique and playful street art project was realized in 2016.
Belanger’s “Fake Shadows” are a delightful interplay of reality and illusion. The artist added painted false shadows to common street objects, such as bike racks, benches, mailboxes, and even a manhole cover, turning them into whimsical creatures and objects. For example, a parking meter’s shadow becomes a monkey’s tail, a mailbox casts the shadow of a dragon, and a bike rack’s shadow transforms into a monkey on a tree.If you’ve had the chance to see Damon Belanger’s “Fake Shadows” in person, why not share your experience or better still, your photos in our Facebook group Your Street Art Utopia?

9 Sculptures You (Probably) Didn’t Know Existed
From a 50-foot Native American monument overlooking the Missouri River to a surreal hammock strung across a border fence, these sculptures push the boundaries of form, meaning, and public space. Whether constructed from stone, steel, wire, or illusion, each work defies convention — and chances are, you haven’t seen them before. Locations span from Barcelona to Philadelphia, from South Dakota plains to Turkish landscapes.

You Might Walk Past These—But They’re Tiny Masterpieces in Disguise
Content warning: Which one is your favorite?
In Milan, Golsa Golchini is reshaping how we see the cracks, rust, and decay of city walls. Her miniature street art scenes don’t cover damage—they embrace it.
A girl swings from rain streaks. A turtle borrows a tank as its shell. A young musician draws music from crumbling plaster. Each piece is site-specific, small in scale but rich in detail, and carefully crafted to interact with its exact surroundings. In this collection, we feature ten of Golchini’s latest public artworks across Milan—where the city’s imperfections become the very foundation of her storytelling.
🔗 Follow Golsa Golchini on Instagram
Laundry Day
A woman leans from a real window, painted to appear as if she’s reading the fractured wall like a book. The peeling plaster becomes a cascading page.
The Hidden Melody
Golsa Golchini cleverly integrates minimalist art, depicting a young girl realistically painted emerging from peeling plaster. The girl is holding a bow as if playing Double Bass on the crumbling wall itself, transforming urban decay into a subtle and poetic performance.
Flashlight Beam
A boy holds a large flashlight aimed upward. The beam isn’t painted—it’s a real streak of sunlight on the wall, timed perfectly with the art.
Elephant Friend
A little girl in a striped dress reaches out to gently touch the head of an elephant, its form emerging naturally from the cracked wall. Golsa Golchini uses the contours of the damaged surface to suggest the animal’s shape, turning urban decay into an unexpected moment of connection between child and creature.
Turtle Shell
A green turtle peeks out from behind a public plastic container. The container’s shape mimics its shell in a surreal visual twist.
Boy with Dog
A child walks a dog on a leash. The dog is made from a rust stain and a hole in the wall, blending seamlessly with the texture.
Snail at the Curb
A snail painted near the sidewalk seems to crawl slowly through a pile of real dried leaves. The edge of the street becomes part of its journey.
Rain Swing
A girl swings from two long streaks of water damage on a concrete wall. The stains form ropes, and her painted legs kick out into open space.
Cracked Pikachu
A joyful cartoon face bursts through a chipped section of wall, clearly inspired by Pikachu from Pokémon. The playful eyes and wide pink mouth are painted around the cracks, making it feel like the character is peeking through the surface itself.
Giraffe Peek
A giraffe peeks through an opening in dense ivy, as if hiding behind the greenery. The painted surface perfectly matches the hole.
Golsa Golchini’s art doesn’t just live on the walls of Milan—it lives with them. Every crack becomes a canvas, every rust patch a character. These ten interventions remind us that beauty can emerge from erosion, and that even a broken surface can tell a complete story. In Golchini’s hands, the city itself collaborates—every wall is part of the work.
