Some street art is finished when the paint dries.

These works need something else: a canal, a puddle, a water stain, wet pavement, or a rising tide. Water completes the idea. Without it, the joke, illusion, or warning is only half there.

First up: This upside-down mural is upright in reflection

🌊 “Floating World” — By Ray Bartkus in Marijampolė, Lithuania 🇱🇹

Ray Bartkus’s own street-art archive lists “Floating World” as a 2015 MaLonNY 2 work in Marijampolė, and the city’s visitor page places it on the Old Dam building. Bartkus painted it upside down on purpose. On the wall, the swimmers, rowers, and swans look reversed. In the water reflection, they line up right-side-up.

💡 Nerd Fact: MaLonNY is not just a festival name. According to Lithuania Travel, it blends Marijampolė, London, and New York, connecting the city to the international art worlds that shaped the project.

💧 “Reflejos / Reflections” — By Martín Ron in San Nicolás de los Arroyos, Argentina 🇦🇷

Ron introduced the mural as “Reflejos” in San Nicolás de los Arroyos. Reuters coverage of the project, republished by The Indian Express, connected the two 40-meter-high murals to the Paraná River’s historic drought. Here, the painted water does more than mirror the child in the poncho; it carries the environmental question.

💡 Nerd Fact: The Paraná is not just background scenery here. In 2021, Reuters reported that Argentina urged people to save water when the river reached a 77-year low, affecting wetlands, farming, and grain transport.

🏘️ “Under the bridge” — By Wen2 in Amiens, France 🇫🇷

Amiens Métropole lists Wen2’s 2025 fresco as “Under the bridge” at Pont des Becquerelles, created with CURB and Caparol France. The work imagines part of a historic Saint-Leu street breaking loose and moving beneath the bridge; the water below doubles the houses, so the underpass starts to look like a floating village.

💡 Nerd Fact: Amiens already has a strong water identity. The city’s tourism office describes the nearby Hortillonnages as a mosaic of floating gardens and waterways at the gateway of the Saint-Leu quarter.

☔ “Akihabara” — By Dan Kitchener in Southend-on-Sea, UK 🇬🇧

Dan Kitchener brings a rainy Tokyo backstreet to a wall in England. In his own post about the Southend mural, he describes it as a freehand Akihabara/Tokyo street scene made for the town’s first mural festival. Umbrellas, neon signs, and wet pavement blur together, with the painted reflections doing as much work as the figures.

💡 Neon Fact: Akihabara is not just a random Tokyo reference. GO TOKYO describes Akihabara Electric Town as an area that grew from electronics shops into “Akiba,” a pop-culture district packed with computers, anime, manga, and specialty stores.

🌧️ “Rain Swing” — By Golsa Golchini in Milan, Italy 🇮🇹

Golsa Golchini uses the water damage already on the wall. Two long streaks become swing ropes. A tiny painted girl does the rest.

💡 Nerd Fact: Golchini often works at a scale where the wall’s damage becomes part of the story. Here, the stains are not a flaw to hide; they are the swing ropes.

🌈 “The Things We Do” — By Chris Wiedmann in San Francisco, USA 🇺🇸

This mural is often shared online as “Colour Rain,” but the artist’s own archive page linked below titles it “The Things We Do.” Rainbow drips pour down the arched wall, and the small umbrella figure gives the scene its center. The result is simple, bright, and instantly readable.

💡 Nerd Fact: The title changes how the piece reads. “Colour Rain” describes what people remember first, but Wiedmann’s archive title, “The Things We Do,” makes the umbrella figure feel less like decoration and more like a small character choosing to stand there.

🐈 “Just another rainy day” — By John D’oh in Bristol, UK 🇬🇧

John D’oh takes the old saying and makes it literal in “Just another rainy day”. Cats and dogs fall from above while the man underneath calmly holds an umbrella, as if this forecast is just part of daily life in Bristol.

💡 Nerd Fact: John D’oh’s official site says he has worked with 3D installations and mixed-media street art, but this piece works more like a one-panel cartoon: old idiom, simple stencil, instant punchline.

More: Just another rainy day

🍾 Bottle-cap umbrella scene — By Roy’s People in London, UK 🇬🇧

Roy’s People turns a beer bottle cap into a city umbrella. Londonist featured this exact rainy miniature in a preview of Roy Tyson’s Little Heroes show at Curious Duke Gallery, where some tiny scenes were later placed around east London.

💡 Tiny Fact: The Little Heroes idea was not only about superheroes. Londonist described the show as looking at everyday heroism too, which makes the bottle-cap umbrella feel like a tiny act of care rather than just a clever prop.

🪣 The Water Carrier — By Juandres Vera & TARDOR in Riola, Spain 🇪🇸

The pavement opens into a hidden spring. An artist-added Street Art Cities entry places the collaborative 3D work at Carrer Sant Cristòfol in Riola, Valencia. From the right angle, a woman kneels in clear water with a clay jug, while the shadows and broken edges make the street look as if it has been cut open just beneath the tiles.

💡 Nerd Fact: Street Art Cities marks the Riola work as “Added by the artist,” which is useful for a piece like this because pavement works are often photographed, reposted, and separated from their exact location very quickly.

🚣 Boat of Silence — By SPURONE in Tampico, Mexico 🇲🇽

SPURONE paints still water across the building, using the windows as part of the scene. In his own post from the Tampico Renace SAF project, he frames the work around navigating adversity and uncertainty, which makes the quiet boat feel more like a state of mind than a simple scene.

💡 Nerd Fact: Tampico sits on the northern bank of the Pánuco River, close to the Gulf of Mexico, so a mural about boats and uncertainty also lands in a city shaped by water, ports, and movement.

🌍 “I Don’t Believe in Global Warming” — By Banksy in London, UK 🇬🇧

First reported beside Regent’s Canal in Camden in December 2009, just after the Copenhagen climate talks, the work lets the canal finish the sentence: Banksy’s red words sink below the waterline.

💡 Nerd Fact: Timing mattered. The Guardian reported the work on December 21, 2009, right after the Copenhagen climate summit, so the canal wall became a public footnote to a stalled global summit.

🔴 “Waterline” — By James Colomina in Amsterdam, Netherlands 🇳🇱

Colomina’s own post titles the Amsterdam installation “Waterline”, and Reuters described it as one of two red canal works confronting rising waters. The red figure paints a line above the current canal level, making the water below feel less like scenery and more like a warning.

💡 Nerd Fact: Reuters noted that the Netherlands relies heavily on dikes, canals, and pumps for flood prevention, with about a third of its land below sea level. That makes Amsterdam’s canals more than a pretty setting for this work.

“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.”

J.K. Brown: “For as long as I can remember I have loved to watch animals (especially in the wild) and for as long as I can remember I have been drawing, making and creating as a way of celebrating the beauty of nature. Often when I’m out walking I pick up fragments of metal that have been thrown away. Sometimes fly-tipped or washed up on beaches, I patiently reassemble these pieces into monuments to the natural world around me: a habitat that is becoming increasingly fragmented. I find that my own process of reversing this fragmentation is, for me, a calming antidote to the madness of endless consumption.”

Street Artist Nikita Golubev

Dirty van art by Nikita Golubev (ProBoyNick) in Moscow, Russia.

As you walk through the city, you come across a dirty van parked on the side of the street. At first glance, it may seem like an ordinary vehicle, but upon closer inspection, you realize that it’s covered in intricate street art. The most striking image on the van is a depiction of a human head, riding on the back of a horse.

It’s clear that this van has been through a lot and has been transformed into a moving canvas, an art piece on wheels. The art on the van brings a sense of life and to the gray urban landscape. It’s a reminder that even in the most unexpected places, there is beauty to be found.

Street Artist GURÍ

“Nymph of the Mediterranean Sea” by GURÍ in La Seyne-sur-Mer, France for Graphik Art.

GURÍ about the mural: This is my representation of a “Nereid,” mythological beings of Greek origin that represent everything that is beautiful and kind about the sea. The Nereids emerge from the depths to help, guiding sailors on their journey through their songs. They are depicted as beautiful women adorned with coral, and they are shown riding dolphins, seahorses, and other sea creatures. This work symbolizes the connection between the beings that inhabit the planet, spirituality, respect for nature, and feminine energy.

“Absent” by Innerfields at Wiesenstraße 44 in Berlin, Germany for Walls Of Vision / Dr. Hans Riegel-Stiftung.

Innerfields: In 2016, two years after the annexation of Crimea, we traveled to Kyiv to paint a mural called “present”. Now we’ve been exceptionally fortunate to be invited by the Walls Of Vision project to create a counterpiece in Berlin. We called it “absent”. It is dedicated to all the people who don‘t choose war, but loose their beloved to it.

Nestled in the vibrant streets of Shoreditch, London, a provocative mural by the creative graffiti artist Loretto has been turning heads since its creation in 2018.

Titled ‘The Psychos’, this piece features three of the world’s most controversial political figures—Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, and Kim Jong-un—reimagined as rock stars in a satirical art piece that captures the absurdity of global politics.

About the artist: Loretto is a London based graffiti artist who many believe is originally from South London and has been active for the last 10 years.He started grabbing the attention of the media in the last 8 years, having appeared in several publications. Some of his older pieces can still be found and seen in diverse areas around London. He is described as being a prolific artist, offering original contemporary images, using a stencil and spray paint technique. His work has two different sides: one is the satirical view of celebrities, the other focuses on aspects of human nature and psychology.

“On Both Sides” – By Judith de Leeuw in Châlette-Sur-Loing, France at LaBel Valette Festival.

Judith de Leeuw: The mural depicts a women in a mirror-like position, in one side dressed more urban, and on the other side more wealthy. In both sides, there seems to be dust falling down from their hands, while accompanied by a golden halo.

It represents the idea that true wealth lays inside of us, in our brain and heart. Even though capitalism can make you feel like a success, it might still feel like everything on the inside remained empty. When being poor, true happiness can be found in passion, love for others or small things in life. The mural aims to be a reminder for a direction to find true happiness in non-capitalistic manners.

A neighbor passed and recognized the message, he told me he was a great success in the football scene, and has been very rich. He moved back into Châlette-Sur-Loing to see his daughter for the first time again in years, and found himself happy for the first time.

Street Artist Iman

“Fading Memories” by Iman at Prospect Oktyabrya, 16/1 in Ufa, Russia for SUPERNOVA. Photo by Dmitry LIL-DEE.

Iman on his mural: Memory is one of the most important mental properties of a person’s personality. Personal development of a person involves the accumulation of existential experience, which requires the inclusion of all mental processes, including the processes of remembering, storing and reproducing individual memories of the past. As we age, changes in memory occur. The brain erases part of the memories, distortions occur in the events of the past and their sequence. Difficulties arise with a short memory, sometimes it is easier for a person to remember something from his youth than what happened a few moments ago.

The work depicts an old man, birdhouses are attached to his head, as an image of a repository of memories. I depict the memories themselves in the form of birds. Once in all these birdhouses there were many birds, gradually they were empty. One bird sits on the old man’s finger – this is the most vivid memory that is filled with the strongest emotional charge, which is why it survived. These are the stories from the old people’s past that they tell us time after time with a smile on their face.

At work, there are also additional symbols that help you remember. A photograph hangs on one of the birdhouses, several more photographs are drying over the fence, in which fragments of the past are recorded. Also on the hand of the character is a mark with a pen in the form of a cross. Usually people do this so that they don’t forget to do something. The old man is depicted at the moment when he found a cross on his hand, but he can no longer remember what important action he must perform.

Last Supper road sign made in Warsaw, Poland by AxZstreetart.

AxZstreetart, a talented street artist, created a captivating piece of street art inspired by Leonardo da Vinci’s famous “The Last Supper” painting. This intriguing road sign artwork is located in Warsaw, Poland, and showcases the artist’s skill and creativity.

“The Last Supper,” a late 15th-century mural painting by Italian artist Leonardo da Vinci, portrays the reactions of the twelve apostles when Jesus announced that one of them would betray him. Each apostle is shown with a different degree of shock and anger, making the scene incredibly emotive and powerful. It is said that Leonardo used the likenesses of people from Milan as inspiration for the figures in the painting.

AxZstreetart’s street art interpretation of “The Last Supper” cleverly blends the iconic imagery with a modern and urban twist, showcasing the timeless appeal of this masterpiece. The attention to detail and innovative approach to this classic painting is bound to capture the admiration of both street art enthusiasts and art history buffs alike.

Sculptor Luke Jerram

Floating Earth is an installation by artist Luke Jerram. It is a spherical sculpture of the Earth that is designed to float on water. The installation was recently installed in Canary Wharf, London as part of the Winter Lights festival. The sculpture is intended to highlight the fragility of our planet and encourage people to think about their impact on the environment.

The Floating Earth sculpture is made from detailed NASA imagery and is seven meters in diameter. It is designed to float on a pool of water and is illuminated from within, creating a beautiful and striking visual effect. The installation is interactive and visitors can walk around and inside the sculpture, giving them a unique perspective on the planet.

Luke Jerram’s Floating Earth installation has been on display in various locations around the world and it is typically presented as part of a public art event, such as a festival. The installation aims to generate conversations about the environment and encourage people to take action to protect the planet.

The Palm Temple (6 photos)

In 2020, the University of Bristol in Bristol, UK, saw the installation of a fascinating and unique public art piece.

Created by artist Luke Jerram, this facility not only boasts stunning visuals, but also offers a bench inside, allowing visitors to sit back and immerse themselves in what feels like a colorful rainbow conservatory.

The story behind this art installation began in September 2019, when Luke Jerram was approached by Milan-based production company 3D Produzioni. They requested an artwork to celebrate the 600th anniversary of Brunelleschi’s dome of Florence Cathedral (Duomo di Firenze). The artwork needed to be at least 5 meters in height and fabricated quickly for a temporary presentation, with its design and creation documented for a program.

Luke developed several concepts, but the final commissioned artwork is based on a spiraling lamella dome structure. This dome is cut in half, with the two halves placed parallel to each other, resembling the two palms of hands coming together in prayer.

While the Florence Cathedral serves as a temple for contemplating God, this new artwork is designed for contemplating nature. Suspended in the apex of the dome is an Extinction Bell, which tolls randomly 150-200 times a day, symbolizing the number of species lost worldwide every 24 hours. This estimate of species loss comes from a 2007 UN Environmental Programme report. The Extinction Bell raises awareness of biodiversity loss, making audible events that are invisible to us and occurring simultaneously across the world in multiple habitats.

Experience the breathtaking visuals of this unique public art installation and reflect on the pressing issue of biodiversity loss, as you sit inside this rainbow conservatory at the University of Bristol.

Muralist Alaniz

“Positive Light” by Alaniz at Stornara Street Art festival Stramurales in Stornara, Italy.

Alaniz about the mural: “Positive light” Due to the traumatic experiences I faced growing up, I developed many negative patterns of thought, trust issues, fears of betrayment, of abandonment. Eventually this fears took over my head and I became depressed and anxious. Years of reflection and analysis helped me to understand that most of those fears and thoughts were just mirages created by the traumatic experiences I had, and that they couldn’t hurt me. Fears and intrusive thoughts are like bats, they may seem scary, but when you see them under a different light, you come to understand that they aren’t as scary as they seem to be at first. This wall is about opening a window in your mind to a different approach of life and trough this, drive away the thoughts that may be baffling you.

By BORDALO II in Bernex, Geneve, Switzerland.

More by BORDALO II on Street Art Utopia: 22 photos – A Collection of Street Art by Bordalo II

ABOUT BORDALO II: Artur Bordalo (Lisbon, 1987) uses the artist name Bordalo II, which he chose as a tribute to his grandfather, the painter Real Bordalo, in order to promote a continuity and reinvention of his artistic legacy.

His youth took place between the hours spent in the studio of his grandfather Real Bordalo, who had an incessant passion for watercolors and oils and portrayed landscapes and typical scenes of the city, and the adventures around illegal graffiti in the underworld of the city of Lisbon.

He attended the Painting course at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Lisbon for eight years, without ever having completed it, but says that these years allowed him to discover sculpture, ceramics, and to experiment with a variety of materials that have distanced him from painting, which had taken him there in the first place.

The public space would become the chosen stage for his explorations of color and scale and the platform where he gradually transformed his habits and channeled his experiences in the construction and development of his artistic work, which is currently focused on questioning the materialistic and greedy society of which he is (also) part.

The excessive production and consumption of stuff, which results in the continuous production of “garbage” and consequently in the destruction of the Planet, are the central themes of his production. This “garbage” assumes itself as the unusual and unique raw material that Bordalo uses in the construction of small and large scale pieces that he has spread around the world and that, above all, intend to be the vehicle of a universal manifesto.
