📦 Cardboard Box Cat — By Nego in Torrellas, Zaragoza, Spain 🇪🇸
Nego turns an ordinary building corner into a giant cardboard box. The cat peeks out as if the whole house has become a toy. It is funny, smart, and perfectly scaled to make the street feel more playful.💡 Nerd Fact: This joke lands even harder because it taps into real cat behavior. Utrecht University notes that cats with access to simple hiding boxes adapt faster to stressful environments, so the cardboard box is not just a joke. It is also the kind of hiding place cats actually use to feel safer.

🔴 The Red Cat — By LeHo Artwork in Taipei, Taiwan 🇹🇼
This glowing cat was presented in LeHo Artwork’s post about the mural as part of the 幻獸 series for Taipei’s lantern festival, which helps explain why the cat feels warm, luminous, and slightly unreal. The 3D illusion makes it seem as if the red body is radiating straight out from the wall.More: The Red Cat Mural: A Street Art Piece by LeHo Artwork in Taipei

🗽 Tombili — By Seval Şahin in Kadıköy, Istanbul, Turkey 🇹🇷
Not every great cat piece needs to be painted on a wall. According to Kadıköy Municipality, sculptor Seval Şahin made the statue voluntarily, and it was installed at the spot in Ziverbey where Tombili became famous for this relaxed pose. It turns a beloved neighborhood stray into a permanent piece of urban memory.💡 Nerd Fact: Tombili’s monument became its own mini civic saga. Kadıköy Municipality says it only happened after a 17,000-signature campaign, and Hürriyet Daily News later reported that the statue was stolen and returned days later after public outrage.

🐾 Squishee the Alleycat — By SWIFTMANTIS in Papaioea, New Zealand 🇳🇿
This is not just a realistic cat portrait. On the artist’s official mural page, SWIFTMANTIS explains that Squishee was a real local alley cat living under their old brick studio in Palmy before eventually earning a home with them. Painted for Street Prints: Papaioea 2020, the mural carries that real affection as much as the technical skill.💡 Nerd Fact: Squishee’s story kept growing after the mural was finished. On the artist’s own print page, SWIFTMANTIS says later editions became a memorial print with Squishee’s real paw print, and 10% of sales go to Manawatu Alley Cats Trust.

😾 The Dream of Separation — By DALeast in Paris, France 🇫🇷
DALeast’s official site lists the 2019 Paris work as The Dream of Separation, and that title fits the image beautifully. His signature tangle of metallic lines makes the two cats feel as if they are colliding, splintering, and vibrating all at once.More: Street Art by DALeast – In Paris, France

😺 Cat! — By Näutil in Réthoville, Manche, France 🇫🇷
Näutil keeps things loose, playful, and full of character here. The graffiti cat feels wonderfully expressive without needing much realism. That is why it pops so nicely against the wall.More: Cat! – Street art by Näutil in Réthoville, France (9 photos)

😸 Pelle Svanslös and Maja Gräddnos — By Charlie Granberg in Uppsala, Sweden 🇸🇪
Charlie Granberg gives Pelle Svanslös and Maja Gräddnos a bright and friendly presence, but the mural is bigger and more site-specific than it first looks. Destination Uppsala highlights it as a 15-meter mural of Peter-No-Tail and Molly Cream-Nose in Påvel Snickares Gränd, which makes it feel completely at home in the city that gave the character life.💡 Nerd Fact: Pelle’s stories carry more history than the phrase “beloved children’s cat” might suggest. The official Pelle Svanslös site says the character began on Uppsala radio in 1937, and the books quietly folded in wartime Sweden through blackout rules, ration cards, and even a Danish cat nickname that plays on Quisling.

♻️ Iberian Lynx — By BORDALO II in Lisbon, Portugal 🇵🇹
BORDALO II does not just depict a lynx. He builds it out of the waste we leave behind. That makes this street art animal both beautiful and unsettling, and it makes the environmental message hard to miss.💡 Nerd Fact: This animal choice hits even harder now. Reuters reported that the Iberian lynx was moved from Endangered to Vulnerable in 2024, while BORDALO II’s own Big Trash Animals statement says the whole series is built on the contradiction of using waste to depict creatures whose habitats are damaged by waste.

🐯 The Cat — By Dan Leo at Waterford Walls, Waterford, Ireland 🇮🇪
Dan Leo’s mural feels sharp, graphic, and almost totemic. Waterford Walls listed it simply as “The cat” and placed it on Park Road opposite People’s Park, which suits the piece perfectly.

⭐ Cute Star Cat — By Sagie in Jönköping, Sweden 🇸🇪
Sagie leans into softness here, and it works beautifully. In the artist’s post about the mural, he notes that one ear was actually made of wood and glued onto the wall, giving the dreamy cat a subtle sculptural twist.

🌿 Rustle in Feilding — By SWIFTMANTIS in Feilding, New Zealand 🇳🇿
SWIFTMANTIS uses a highly detailed style here, but the story behind the mural is just as memorable. On the official project page, the artist explains that Rustle traveled from London to Feilding mid-pandemic to be reunited with his mum Sophie after six months apart. The painted leaves make that real cat feel like it is quietly spying on the city from its own green hideout.🔗 Follow SWIFTMANTIS on Instagram
🫒 Olive — By SWIFTMANTIS in Christchurch, New Zealand 🇳🇿
This mural lands because it is deeply personal. On the official mural page, SWIFTMANTIS describes Olive as a Christchurch city stray painted for Flare Street Art Festival to help her find a home, and the note now happily adds that she has since been adopted. That turns the wall into more than a portrait. It becomes a public act of care.🔗 Follow SWIFTMANTIS on Instagram
💖 Neon Cat — By David Speed in London, England 🇬🇧

🚐 All Cats Are Beautiful — By Pro Boy Nick in Unknown Location 🌍
The charm here is how temporary the art is. Pro Boy Nick turns a dirty van window into a surprisingly elegant cat portrait. It proves that even street grime can become a pretty great canvas.💡 Nerd Fact: This sits inside a broader street-art lineage sometimes called reverse graffiti. In a Guardian piece on Paul “Moose” Curtis, the method is described as making an image by removing grime instead of adding paint, which means the drawing is literally made out of the clean parts.

✊ Cats Against Racism — By Unknown Artist in Adelaide, Australia 🇦🇺

💡 Cat Lights — By Unknown Artist in Zelenogradsk, Russia 🇷🇺
These cat lights are not a typical graffiti mural, but they show how deeply feline culture is built into Zelenogradsk’s public space. The official Visit Kaliningrad guide describes Kurortny Avenue as a street full of cat-themed urban details, including cat traffic lights, murals, and even a Cat Museum. It is public art, local identity, and pure charm all rolled into one small detail.💡 Nerd Fact: Zelenogradsk did not stop at cute cat details. The official Visit Kaliningrad guide says the town’s cat museum helped set the feline theme for the whole place, and its event calendar even lists “Zelenogradsk Cat’s Birthday” on March 1.

🐈 Katzenstele — By Siegfried Neuenhausen in Braunschweig, Germany 🇩🇪
This monument has a very different energy from the murals in this post. The Städtisches Museum Braunschweig identifies it by its official title, Katzenstele, and notes that the large sculpture has been part of Braunschweig’s cityscape since 1981. It feels solemn and affectionate at the same time.💡 Nerd Fact: This monument is so woven into Braunschweig that the city still plans around it. In a 2023 document, Braunschweig described the Katzenstele as a popular photo motif and a special attraction for children, which is why officials approved work on a new pedestal to keep bins and bikes from crowding it.

⬛ Black Shadow — By Unknown Artist in Unknown Location 🌍

🐈 Cat Meets Cat Graffiti — By Unknown Artist in Unknown Location 🌍
This is half artwork and half perfect timing. The real cat passing the line-drawn graffiti cat is magical. It turns an already nice street piece into one of those rare moments that feels almost too good to be accidental.
🪨 Painted Cat Rocks — By Unknown Artist in Unknown Location 🌍

💨 Smoke Cat on the Wall — By 0331C in Unknown Location 🌍

🐱 Banksy’s Gaza Kitten — By Banksy in Gaza, Palestine 🇵🇸
This piece hits hard because the kitten is playful while the setting is anything but. ABC News reported that the mural was painted on the remains of a home in Beit Hanoun destroyed during the 2014 war in Gaza. That contrast makes the image impossible to take casually.💡 Nerd Fact: The kitten was never meant to function as a standalone mural. Reuters noted that Banksy folded it into a satirical mini-video about Gaza and said he used a kitten because people online click on cats when they would otherwise scroll past destruction.

Cars With Attitude (10 Photos)
Winter can be miserable, but these creative geniuses decided to turn the freezing cold into a comedy show. Here are 10 cars that woke up with a whole new attitude.
Instead of just scraping the ice and grumbling about the temperature, these anonymous street artists saw a blank canvas. From accidental icicle-punks to cars that look like they’re plotting something, these 10 photos prove that snow is just nature’s paint.More: Snow is Fun (8 Photos)
1. The Squad
Even the police aren’t safe from the “Cars” movie treatment. These vans look like they are plotting something mischievous—or maybe they’re just happy to not be on patrol in the blizzard.
2. Punk’s Not Dead
This car didn’t just get snowed on; it grew a mohawk. The way the icicles have formed spikes gives this little red ride the most rebellious look in the entire parking lot. It’s arguably the coolest car in town.
3. Feeling Cheeky
A wink and a tongue out. This Volkswagen proves that a little bit of snow can bring out a car’s true personality. It’s amazing how a few swipes of a gloved hand can create such a distinct expression.
4. The Big Sniffer
When the snow piles up heavily on the hood, you have to work with what you’ve got. This artist sculpted a nose that could smell spring coming a mile away. It gives the car a grumpy, sophisticated look.
5. The Passengers
Why scrape the whole window when you can just draw your passengers? This is a brilliant way to clear just enough space to drive while telling a funny story about who is (or isn’t) in the car with you.
6. Wide Awake
This Peugeot looks absolutely thrilled to be freezing cold. That wide, toothy grin is enough to wake anyone up on a grey morning. It’s hard to be grumpy about the weather when your car is this happy.
7. Morning Commute Moods
Someone took the time to go down the entire row. Every emotion of the morning commute is captured here, from sleepy and suspicious to wide-eyed and worried. This row of cars represents us all before the first cup of coffee.
8. The Gossip Circle
A bird’s eye view of a parking lot personality crisis. It looks like they are all gossiping about the car next to them. Simple lines, maximum effect.
9. Love at First Frost
Who says parking lots aren’t romantic? These two neighboring cars were given eyes that gaze adoringly at one another. It’s clearly a winter date that is going very well.
10. Mr. Happy
Sometimes the simplest art is the best. A classic smiley face on a mint green car is just wholesome content. It’s a reminder that winter doesn’t have to be all doom and gloom.More: Funny Snow Sculptures (10 Photos)

By John Pugh in Hermosa Beach, California. For Hermosa Beach Murals Project.
About John Pugh:
For more than three decades, world-renowned trompe l’oeil artist John Pugh has engaged and captivated the public with large-scale mural projects in spaces across the world, including San Francisco, Miami, and New York, as well as Taiwan, Mexico, and New Zealand. His “trick of the eye” murals cleverly fool the viewer into seeing a modern facade’s broken wall revealing Greek columns or a woman reading in a cafe. But Pugh’s paintings also capture the imagination and engage the mind. Within a framework of artfully rendered illusionary space, he orchestrates layers of historical, social, and mythical commentary that challenge the viewer to find deeper levels of meaning.
With a body of work now exceeding 250 murals, Pugh has been instrumental in revitalizing the trompe l’oeil genre, turning it into a legitimate and vital mode of artistic expression that is both aesthetically and intellectually challenging. In Pugh’s own words, ‘It can link people together, stimulate a sense of pride within the community, and introduce the viewer to new ideas and perspectives.

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

David Speeduk: So cats.. Whenever I bump into people in the street, one of the most common comments is about my cats. I’ve painted well over 200 neon paintings, only 8 of those have been cats. One of the reasons I started painting in neon was because it stood out and set my work forward. If the cats are so remembered, there must be something that stands out about them – probably something I should explore more.

SWIFTMANTIS: This is Olive! She’s a sweet little stray rescued by the Cats Protection League of Canterbury, and she needs a home! Usually the stray stories I paint have already found homes in interesting places but this time it’s an open ended story and we’re hoping someone out there can help give her the forever home she needs. She’s been at the shelter for a while now, black cats have to deal with the superstitious stereotypes of being ”bad luck’ from too many witch movies. On top of that strays can be hard work at first and do require a little extra effort, but seeing them transform makes it all worth it. Massive thanks to FLARE Street Art Festival for hosting us and helping me bring this mural to life. Special thanks to @furtographynz for photographing Olives portrait to give me the best possible reference to paint from. And the Cats Protection League of Canterbury who’ve been helping local cats since 1971! Much love to all the Artists and organizers involved, you guys make the whole experience so damn fun it was hard to leave!

Up to now, I’ll prepared 11 colors and you can already find some on the streets of Hamburg and Hannover. Can’t wait to be able to visit other cities and let you some of them on your walls. We have to be patient in these hard times. Stay healthy and hang in for all the nice things you can’t do presently. There will be better times for sure.

Graphic Muralist Dan Leo
By Dan Leo.
Born in London in 84 I moved to Ireland at a young age. Always having had an interest in art, my enthusiasm grew from the consumption of 90s cartoons and having a keen interest in American sports logos and graphic design.
My style has evolved over the years as I believe it should. It’s important to keep moving forward and explore new approaches as well as improve on existing ones. Animals have always been something I have had respect for and as you can see feature almost exclusively in my work. Nature is a never ending source of inspiration.
Painting has given me the opportunity to travel and meet many like minds and I’m grateful to be able to do what I love.

📦 Cardboard Box Cat — By Nego in Torrellas, Zaragoza, Spain 🇪🇸
Nego turns an ordinary building corner into a giant cardboard box. The cat peeks out as if the whole house has become a toy. It is funny, smart, and perfectly scaled to make the street feel more playful.💡 Nerd Fact: This joke lands even harder because it taps into real cat behavior. Utrecht University notes that cats with access to simple hiding boxes adapt faster to stressful environments, so the cardboard box is not just a joke. It is also the kind of hiding place cats actually use to feel safer.

🗽 Tombili — By Seval Şahin in Kadıköy, Istanbul, Turkey 🇹🇷
Not every great cat piece needs to be painted on a wall. According to Kadıköy Municipality, sculptor Seval Şahin made the statue voluntarily, and it was installed at the spot in Ziverbey where Tombili became famous for this relaxed pose. It turns a beloved neighborhood stray into a permanent piece of urban memory.💡 Nerd Fact: Tombili’s monument became its own mini civic saga. Kadıköy Municipality says it only happened after a 17,000-signature campaign, and Hürriyet Daily News later reported that the statue was stolen and returned days later after public outrage.

Painted for Street Prints: Papaioea 2020, the mural carries that real affection as much as the technical skill.💡 Nerd Fact: Squishee’s story kept growing after the mural was finished. On the artist’s own print page, SWIFTMANTIS says later editions became a memorial print with Squishee’s real paw print, and 10% of sales go to Manawatu Alley Cats Trust.

😸 Pelle Svanslös and Maja Gräddnos — By Charlie Granberg in Uppsala, Sweden 🇸🇪
Charlie Granberg gives Pelle Svanslös and Maja Gräddnos a bright and friendly presence, but the mural is bigger and more site-specific than it first looks. Destination Uppsala highlights it as a 15-meter mural of Peter-No-Tail and Molly Cream-Nose in Påvel Snickares Gränd, which makes it feel completely at home in the city that gave the character life.💡 Nerd Fact: Pelle’s stories carry more history than the phrase “beloved children’s cat” might suggest. The official Pelle Svanslös site says the character began on Uppsala radio in 1937, and the books quietly folded in wartime Sweden through blackout rules, ration cards, and even a Danish cat nickname that plays on Quisling.

♻️ Iberian Lynx — By BORDALO II in Lisbon, Portugal 🇵🇹
BORDALO II does not just depict a lynx. He builds it out of the waste we leave behind. That makes this street art animal both beautiful and unsettling, and it makes the environmental message hard to miss.💡 Nerd Fact: This animal choice hits even harder now. Reuters reported that the Iberian lynx was moved from Endangered to Vulnerable in 2024, while BORDALO II’s own Big Trash Animals statement says the whole series is built on the contradiction of using waste to depict creatures whose habitats are damaged by waste.

🌿 Rustle in Feilding — By SWIFTMANTIS in Feilding, New Zealand 🇳🇿
SWIFTMANTIS uses a highly detailed style here, but the story behind the mural is just as memorable. On the official project page, the artist explains that Rustle traveled from London to Feilding mid-pandemic to be reunited with his mum Sophie after six months apart. The painted leaves make that real cat feel like it is quietly spying on the city from its own green hideout.🔗 Follow SWIFTMANTIS on Instagram
🫒 Olive — By SWIFTMANTIS in Christchurch, New Zealand 🇳🇿
This mural lands because it is deeply personal. On the official mural page, SWIFTMANTIS describes Olive as a Christchurch city stray painted for Flare Street Art Festival to help her find a home, and the note now happily adds that she has since been adopted. That turns the wall into more than a portrait. It becomes a public act of care.🔗 Follow SWIFTMANTIS on Instagram
💖 Neon Cat — By David Speed in London, England 🇬🇧
David Speed makes this cat feel like it was painted with pure electricity. The fluorescent pink glow pushes the piece right to the edge. It is a perfect mix of neon sign, bold graffiti, and pop spectacle.More: Cat in London by Neon Artist David Speed

❤️ Cat Lover — By Wek / Spray Lover in Lisbon, Portugal 🇵🇹

💕 We Will Meet Again… — By Unknown Artist in Unknown Location 🌍
This one is simple, text-based, and still surprisingly effective. It works because the graffiti line is funny and tender. It is just dramatic enough to sound like something only true cat people would understand.More: We will meet again in another life when we are both cats
🪟 Stained Glass Cat — By Kateryna Shelyhina in Unknown Location 🌍
This is not a standard graffiti mural, but it absolutely belongs here. The stretched cat silhouette and stained-glass treatment are elegant. They give it a graceful sense of movement that feels both handmade and magical.More: The natural movement of this cat sculpture is amazing

🚐 All Cats Are Beautiful — By Pro Boy Nick in Unknown Location 🌍
The charm here is how temporary the art is. Pro Boy Nick turns a dirty van window into a surprisingly elegant cat portrait. It proves that even street grime can become a pretty great canvas.💡 Nerd Fact: This sits inside a broader street-art lineage sometimes called reverse graffiti. In a Guardian piece on Paul “Moose” Curtis, the method is described as making an image by removing grime instead of adding paint, which means the drawing is literally made out of the clean parts.

✊ Cats Against Racism — By Unknown Artist in Adelaide, Australia 🇦🇺

😴 Sleeping Kitten 2 — By WA in Lima, Peru 🇵🇪

💡 Cat Lights — By Unknown Artist in Zelenogradsk, Russia 🇷🇺
These cat lights are not a typical graffiti mural, but they show how deeply feline culture is built into Zelenogradsk’s public space. The official Visit Kaliningrad guide describes Kurortny Avenue as a street full of cat-themed urban details, including cat traffic lights, murals, and even a Cat Museum. It is public art, local identity, and pure charm all rolled into one small detail.💡 Nerd Fact: Zelenogradsk did not stop at cute cat details. The official Visit Kaliningrad guide says the town’s cat museum helped set the feline theme for the whole place, and its event calendar even lists “Zelenogradsk Cat’s Birthday” on March 1.

🐈 Katzenstele — By Siegfried Neuenhausen in Braunschweig, Germany 🇩🇪
This monument has a very different energy from the murals in this post. The Städtisches Museum Braunschweig identifies it by its official title, Katzenstele, and notes that the large sculpture has been part of Braunschweig’s cityscape since 1981. It feels solemn and affectionate at the same time.💡 Nerd Fact: This monument is so woven into Braunschweig that the city still plans around it. In a 2023 document, Braunschweig described the Katzenstele as a popular photo motif and a special attraction for children, which is why officials approved work on a new pedestal to keep bins and bikes from crowding it.

🐱 Banksy’s Gaza Kitten — By Banksy in Gaza, Palestine 🇵🇸
This piece hits hard because the kitten is playful while the setting is anything but. ABC News reported that the mural was painted on the remains of a home in Beit Hanoun destroyed during the 2014 war in Gaza. That contrast makes the image impossible to take casually.💡 Nerd Fact: The kitten was never meant to function as a standalone mural. Reuters noted that Banksy folded it into a satirical mini-video about Gaza and said he used a kitten because people online click on cats when they would otherwise scroll past destruction.

Oriol Arumí (Vic, 31 October 1972) is a Catalan painter and muralist living in the city of Lleida. His work is technically straddling between figurative and abstract art, and thematically between reality and fantasy. This gives him a wide range of possibilities that allows him to do completely what he likes at any given time: “I always have in mind painters as varied as Johannes Vermeer, Salvador Dalí, Claude Monet, Gustav Klimt and Joan Miró, not to mention of sketchers like Hergé or Moebius ”.

Sasha Korban: ‘’სიყვარულით” which translates to “with love” in Georgian. In Georgia, this mural is referred to as “ბებოს” meaning “grandma”. However, this mural represents the very essence of love. The love that saturates our everyday lives, manifesting through the small acts of kindness from our loved ones or even their mere presence. Unfortunately, we often take this love for granted, assuming it to be the natural order of things, and we sometimes overlook the beauty of life’s simpler moments.

In addition to his incredible talent as a muralist, Korban is also a socially conscious artist, often using his work to raise awareness about pressing issues such as the ongoing war in Ukraine.
His art is a reminder of the resilience of the human spirit and our collective ability to overcome adversity.As a leading figure in the contemporary street art scene, Sasha Korban continues to inspire and captivate audiences with his evocative and thought-provoking creations.

And now in Mykolaiv, Ukraine you can see my new mural “Embrace yourself”, that reminds: every woman deserves happiness.The image of a girl gently hugging her shoulders refers to a psychological method used in therapy for women who have experienced domestic violence. This simple action helps you to feel safe and regain contact with your body.
The mural has created with support of UNFPA Ukraine as a part of an information campaign “Break the Circle” in collaboration with Sky Art Foundation. Its creation is timed to the worldwide campaign “16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence”. Embrace yourself and your loved ones.

I have dedicated my piece to Milana as I do believe she is a real symbol of the true hope.

Yes, yes, and I made a mural there. I portrayed a Ukrainian woman in a traditional embroidered shirt holding a huge bouquet of wildflowers with ears of wheat. She is proud and full of light. She looks straight ahead, with a barely noticeable smile, to all the obstacles and fears in the eyes.
It symbolizes our strength, inner energy, freedom and will. Despite the terrible and cruel war, we, as a nation, will endure, become even stronger, and we will live! There were several situations when people from the opposite building tried to stop me from working on the mural just because the Ukrainian was drawing there

Break the Circle
Sasha Korban: The best safeguard against domestic violence is the confidence of women in their unconditional value and dignity. And now in Mykolaiv, Ukraine you can see my new mural “Embrace yourself”, that reminds: every woman deserves happiness.
The image of a girl gently hugging her shoulders refers to a psychological method used in therapy for women who have experienced domestic violence. This simple action helps you to feel safe and regain contact with your body.
The mural has created with support of UNFPA Ukraine as a part of an information campaign “Break the Circle” in collaboration with Sky Art Foundation. Its creation is timed to the worldwide campaign “16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence”. Embrace yourself and your loved ones. And remember, that you deserve to be respected and to be happy simply because you exist.
Finding a good balance in life
Sasha Korban: This mural supports the idea of finding a good balance in life. The young fragile girl reflects the human’s internal harmony together with the joy of existence. A bunch of chairs is a metaphor for the world’s chaos and the diversity of different moments we all go through – positive, tragic, happy and sad. They make us balance and find the harmony. The project is organized by International Human Rights Organization Truth Hounds
Tbilisi, Georgia.
True Hope
Sasha Korban: It is the fourth year of war in my country. There are thousands of broken hearts and lost beloved ones, ruined families, injured bodies and souls. Milana is a six-year-old girl who faced the war three years ago. But she was stronger than any war. Her little and yet brave heart conquered everything. I have dedicated my piece to Milana as I do believe she is a real symbol of the true hope.
Sasha Korban: The curator of the festival Besik M while he was inviting me, said, “We have a special wall for you, opposite the Russian embassy’s building.” (correctly speaking, it was the Russian Federation Interests Section at the Embassy of Switzerland in Tbilisi).
Yes, yes, and I made a mural there. I portrayed a Ukrainian woman in a traditional embroidered shirt holding a huge bouquet of wildflowers with ears of wheat. She is proud and full of light. She looks straight ahead, with a barely noticeable smile, to all the obstacles and fears in the eyes.
It symbolizes our strength, inner energy, freedom and will. Despite the terrible and cruel war, we, as a nation, will endure, become even stronger, and we will live! There were several situations when people from the opposite building tried to stop me from working on the mural just because the Ukrainian was drawing there
Harmony and Balance
[b]Sasha Korban: [/b]With this symbolic artwork I have been trying to show an importance of the harmony and balance in everything, and most importantly to find it inside oneself.

Brilliant Art By Le CyKlop (10 Photos)

By putting an eye on them, I try to bring them to life, give them a soul and give birth to a form of fantasy. Think about the mythical creature, the Cyclops, sporting a single eye in the center of its forehead. Now imagine seeing Cyclops-inspired art embedded in your everyday urban landscape! This is exactly what the French street artist, Le CyKlop, accomplishes with his witty, transformative art.
Hailing from the vivacious city of Paris, Le CyKlop’s affinity for street art was ignited during the flourishing graffiti culture of the 1980s. However, his fascination was not confined to the freedom and spontaneity of street art; he was captivated by the potential to transfigure the ordinary world into an extraordinary canvas.
“I try to break free from conventional supports such as walls or canvas, to invest in objects. By putting an eye on them, I try to bring them to life, give them a soul and give birth to a form of fantasy,” Le CyKlop explains. He further adds, “A playful and anthropomorphic art that borrows its artistic language from toys, comics or animal bestiary. By drawing on the history of the Cyclops, I revisiting Greek mythology.”
Rather than utilizing paint on a blank wall, Le CyKlop views everyday street fixtures, particularly the humble bollard, as unique canvases. These mundane posts, with a splash of paint and a sprinkle of imagination, transform into one-eyed creatures. Suddenly, these functional items, often overlooked, develop a life of their own, morphing into Cyclopean characters overseeing the city streets.
Each work by Le CyKlop is distinctive.
Some bollards wear a simplistic, single eye, while others are adorned with faces, topped with an array of hats, or other playful accessories. Yet they all share a common trait – a single, unblinking eye witnessing the world.
Le CyKlop’s artistry is not confined to Paris. His Cyclops have invaded streets worldwide, sprouting up in different countries and infusing a sense of whimsy wherever they make an appearance. His work challenges us to perceive our everyday environment in a new light, to unearth joy in the most unexpected places.
The visionary artist’s journey continues unabated. Le CyKlop plans to press ahead with his mission to metamorphose ordinary bollards into extraordinary pieces of art, radiating smiles and igniting curiosity in everyone who encounters his work.
Le CyKlop’s work underscores the transformative power of imagination. His one-eyed wonders encourage us to view the world with a playful spirit, to explore creativity, and to recognize the potential for art in our daily surroundings. So next time you’re out and about, stay alert – you might just encounter a Cyclops of your own!

From everyday bollards to mythical creatures, Le CyKlop continues to surprise and inspire with his inventive street art. His creativity encourages us to find delight and inspiration in our everyday settings, proving that the streets truly serve as a canvas for our imagination.

Street Artist Adele Renault
By Adele Renault in Stavelot, Belgium.
Adele Renault: Pigeons always fly home. This one is perched up on a hill next to a 100 year old beech, visible from the old rail road and the road below. Practically in my old high school’s backyard and a 2 miles flight to my parents home. Had to be a pigeon when I first saw the wall. Thanks to the Cultural center of Stavelot for making this happen.
Adele Renault: Often when I paint a pigeon mural in the US, people say “oh look she’s painting an eagle.” And now when painting a pigeon in Belgium several people stopped by and said “oh is she painting the Belgian flag?”. Why are people so obsessed with patriotism? Hopefully it can just be art or just a pigeon to brighten someone’s day.

“In silence” by Vadim Mezzo at Stanislavskogo 35 in Rostov-on-Don, Russia for Street Art Festival “About Love”.
Vadim Mezzo: Sometimes we need silence to feel the love. Being in nature away from the rhythm and noises of the city is much easier to feel connection with this world. In this work I tried to reflect that very moment of serenity, when two people can fully sense these thin threads that connect them with each other and the world around them. And I guess, a piece of pacifying in a big city will never be the waste.

Join me on a journey through 30 of the most amazing sculptures around the world, each with its own story and artistry that you probably didn’t know was out there.

1. The Statue of King Arthur, located in Tintagel, England, is a striking bronze sculpture by artist Rubin Eynon.
Erected in 2016, this statue stands on the cliffs of Tintagel Castle, a site steeped in Arthurian legend. The sculpture, named “Gallos” (meaning “power” in Cornish), depicts a cloaked and crowned King Arthur holding his sword, with his body appearing to merge with the landscape. This artwork symbolizes the enduring power and mystery of the Arthurian legends that are deeply rooted in the area. More like this: 9 Amazing sculptures by Bruno Catalano: Fragmented travelers
2. Albert György’s sculpture, Melancholy, captures the emptiness left by grief.
As John Maddox eloquently states, “We may look as if we carry on with our lives as before… but this emptiness is how we all feel… all the time.”
3. Christ of the Abyss is an extraordinary bronze statue created by Guido Galletti in 1954.
This unique piece rests on the seabed of the Mediterranean Sea, nestled between Camogli and Portofino on the Italian Riviera. Submerged beneath the azure waters, it continues to captivate divers and visitors with its serene and mystical presence.
4. This colossal sculpture was created nearly 450 years ago by Flemish sculptor Giambologna as a symbol of Italy’s Apennine mountains. Standing at nearly 14 meters (45 ft) tall, it was commissioned by Francesco de Medici, the Grand Duke of Tuscany, in 1579.
Positioned above a pond, the statue features a chamber in its head where Francesco would sit and fish at night. When a fire was lit inside, the Colossus’s eyes glowed red, and smoke billowed from its nostrils, creating a striking visual effect.

Completed in 1931 and designed by French sculptor Paul Landowski and Brazilian engineer Heitor da Silva Costa, it has become a symbol of Christianity around the globe and an enduring image of Brazil.

6. Not the most amazing statue, but definitely an amazing story. In Istanbul, Turkey, they made a statue to honor the famous stray cat (Tombili) that used to sit in this position and watch the passers by.
One month after its installation the sculpture went missing. A comment from Turkey MP Tuncay Özkan: “They stole the Tombili statue. They are enemies of everything beautiful. All they know is hate, tears and war”. The statue was safely returned a short time later. More photos here.
7. This eagle sculpture is the world’s largest bird statue, created by Indian artist Rajiv Anchal.
Located at Jatayu Earth’s Center in Kerala, India, the sculpture took a decade to complete. Spanning 200 feet in length, 150 feet in width, and 70 feet in height, this colossal work of art depicts the mythical eagle Jatayu from the Indian epic, Ramayana.
8. This stunning marble sculpture, Ajax and Cassandra, was crafted in 2022 by renowned Italian contemporary artist Jago.
The piece beautifully captures the dramatic moment between the Greek hero Ajax and the Trojan priestess Cassandra.
9. Sendai Daikannon in Japan, the eighth-tallest statue in the world at 100 meters (330 ft).
Its serene, watchful presence overlooks the quiet urban landscape, creating a striking contrast between its massive spiritual form and the everyday city life below.
10. The great challenge by Nicolas Lavarenne. Antibes, French Riviera.
This striking bronze sculpture depicts a dynamic, elongated figure balancing on the edge of a cliff, arms outstretched as if preparing to leap into the vast blue sea below.
11. This is how the Statue of Unity in India looks like. It’s the tallest statue in the world: standing at 182 meters (597 ft) tall, it’s nearly three times the height of the Statue of Liberty.
This monumental statue of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, a key leader in India’s independence, stands on a massive platform with an observation deck, emphasizing its grandeur and scale.

14. Leshan Giant Buddha in China (800 AD) At 71 meters (233 ft) tall, this is the tallest pre-modern statue on Earth.
The Leshan Giant Buddha is carved into the cliffside in Leshan, Sichuan, China, overlooking the convergence of three rivers.
15. Close-up views of Gian Lorenzo Bernini’s marble statue of David, housed in the Galleria Borghese in Rome, Italy.
The dynamic sculpture captures the biblical hero mid-action, winding up to sling a stone. Bernini’s David is depicted with intense focus, furrowed brows, and clenched lips, conveying determination. The statue’s muscular arms and detailed hands grip the twisted ropes of the sling, showcasing Bernini’s skill in portraying tension and movement in marble. This statue contrasts Michelangelo’s famous David by capturing the hero in the midst of battle rather than in a calm, contemplative stance.
16. The Kiss of Death is a marble sculpture made in 1930 and found in Poblenou Cemetery, Barcelona.
This emotionally intense sculpture is renowned for its depiction of the delicate boundary between life and death, symbolized by Death’s kiss.
17. The Weight of Thought, bronze sculptures by Thomas Lerooy.
18. Victor Noir’s grave in Père-Lachaise cemetery, created by Patrick Magaud in 1984, has gained fame not for Noir’s journalistic work but for the legend surrounding his death and burial site.
Noir was a journalist shot dead, and his grave features a full-sized bronze statue of him lying down, as if recently shot. Over time, the statue became a fertility symbol. Legend has it that kissing the statue on the lips, leaving a flower in Victor’s hat, and rubbing the genital area enhances fertility, improves one’s sex life, or helps find a husband within a year. This has led to the lips and trousers’ bulge on the statue becoming noticeably shiny from repeated contact. In 2004, a fence was erected around the grave to prevent this practice, but public protest led to its removal. Victor Noir’s grave remains one of the most visited and talked-about monuments in Père-Lachaise.
19. The amazing handkerchief detail in this marble statue made by French sculptor Louis Philippe Mouchy in 1781.
Featuring a highly realistic handkerchief carved to appear as delicate lace, draped around the neck of the figure.
