From Glasgow to Buenos Aires, public walls and gardens carry some of the most breathtaking artworks of our time. In this selection, a child bends to pick acorns beneath a painted oak tree in Scotland, an elderly worker stands tall in Italy, and surreal portraits stretch across buildings in France, Belgium, and the USA. A stone figure walks elegantly over a pond, while colors burst into butterflies and flowers across facades. Here are 9 stunning works that bring beauty into shared spaces.

1. Child and Oak Tree — Rogue One in Glasgow, UK

4. Funny Heartache — Case Maclaim in Boulogne-sur-Mer, France

A close-up mural of a girl with a playful expression, pressing her cheek against her hand. The portrait was created for Festival Street Art Boulogne-sur-Mer 2025.

Case Maclaim: The artwork explores the complex landscape of female presence in public space. It speaks to the quiet burden of being told to “lighten up,” “smile more,” or “look pretty ” — commands that are as casual as they are demanding. The mural aims to reclaim visual space for women’s realities — not as decoration, but as confrontation and invitation. It is not asking for permission. It is asking to be seen. This woman is both subject and author of her expression. She is holding her head up – literally and metaphorically.

Funny Signs (20 Photos)

Some public signs tell you where to go or what to do. These ones? They play with expectations. From witty chalkboards and absurd flyers to poetic instructions and signs that lead nowhere, these 20 messages prove that a little humor or mystery goes a long way in urban spaces.
More: How Clever (8 Photos)
1. Take What You Need

A simple handwritten flyer reads “Love.” with an invitation: “(Take as much love as you need).” The tear-off tabs just say “LOVE.”
2. Lost My Brain

A satirical lost-and-found flyer features a red anatomical brain diagram and a caption: “Please don’t contact me, I’m happy.”
3. Bar Scene on a No Entry Sign

A creative modification of a no-entry traffic sign transforms the white bar into a bar counter. Three stick figures have been drawn onto the sign—one sitting on a bar stool holding a martini glass, chatting with two others standing beside the “counter.” This humorous intervention turns an ordinary traffic sign into a social vignette.
4. No King
5. Sleeping Bat Warning

Sign on a bookshop door says “Please open the door carefully as there is a bat sleeping on it,” with a real bat sleeping by the doorframe.
About it: A Sleeping Bat at The Next Page Bookshop in Calgary Becomes an Unlikely Star
6. Showbiz Ruined Me — By Pao in Rome, Italy

A sculpture of SpongeBob looks heartbroken, sitting on the street with a cardboard sign: “Showbiz ruined me.”
🔗 Follow Pao on Facebook
7. Dog Library

A wooden sign beneath a tree offers: “Dog Library. Take a stick. Leave a stick.” The pile of branches says it all.
8. Have You Seen This Dog?

Two dog photos and the words: “Have you seen this dog?” Below: “Now you have. Have a GOOD day.” The tear-tabs? “Have a great day.”
9. Please Do Not Smile — New York City Subway, USA

Posted at 14th Street Station: “Please do not smile at strangers.” Whether real or a prank, it’s coldly hilarious.
10. Private Sign

Painted in bold white letters: “PRIVATE SIGN — DO NOT READ.” Naturally, it’s irresistible.
11. The Secret of Happiness

Painted across a long building, the message begins: “The secret of happiness is t—” and then the rest has peeled away.
12. Reboot Universe

At first glance, a standard pedestrian crossing button. But instead of “PUSH TO CROSS,” it reads: “REBOOT UNIVERSE.”
13. Beware of Smartphone Zombies

A modern caution sign warns: “BEWARE OF SMARTPHONE ZOMBIES,” with silhouettes of people walking while staring at their phones.
14. No Don Quixote

A traffic-style sign bans a rider on a horse with a lance—clearly referencing Don Quixote. Behind it: a real windmill.
15. Great Wheat Sharks — Anne Melady in Ontario, Canada

Shark fins appear to slice through a golden wheat field along Highway 8 west of Dublin, Ontario. Installed by 75-year-old landowner and retired nurse Anne Melady, the piece is titled Great Wheat Sharks. She created it to lighten the mood for drivers during the pandemic and continues the now-local tradition with humor and simplicity.
More photos and about it: Please do not feed the Great Wheat Sharks
16. Is It Me You’re Looking For?

A flyer with the face of Lionel Richie and the lyrics from his hit song “Hello” is posted on a utility pole. The bottom of the flyer includes tear-off tabs, each printed with a different lyric fragment, playfully inviting passersby to take one. The setup mimics a typical “lost and found” poster but twists it into a street-level pun.
17. Kingdoms to Countries

On a pub chalkboard: “A long time ago we had Empires run by Emperors. Then we had Kingdoms run by Kings. Now we have Countries…”
18. Accompanied by an Adult

The sign boldly says: “All Americans must be accompanied by an adult.” No context. No problem.
19. Cigarette bin that doubles as a voting booth…

and a political roast all in one. People walk by, chuck in a butt, and suddenly it’s not just litter — it’s democracy with extra sass.
20. The Japanese text (ネコ飛出し注意) translates to “Watch out for jumping cats” or more literally “Caution: Cats dashing out”.

It’s a local road sign sometimes put up in Japanese neighborhoods where there are many stray or outdoor cats. The flying-cat graphics are just a playful way to show that cats might suddenly run across the street, so drivers should slow down and be careful.

In the bustling city of Campo Grande, Brazil, an abandoned bus stop has been revived and reimagined by DUUDOOR, an innovative artist collective consisting of father and son duo, Ernando Jacques Sanches and Eduardo Fernando Savala Sanches.

The pair had been on a hiatus from art, seeking inspiration and motivation to return to creating. When some friends showed them a project where a local artist had infused new life into a bus stop with Simpsons-themed art in Porto Murtinho, they knew they had found their muse.

Excited by the idea of not only creating art but also revitalizing neglected urban spaces, DUUDOOR set to work on their own bus stop project. What emerged was not just an aesthetic transformation of an ordinary space, but a demonstration of the power of art to spark joy and community engagement.

After completion, they reflected on the gratifying experience of witnessing the impact of their art. It was a reminder of art’s power to transform and inspire. This first project was financed solely by DUUDOOR’s own resources, but their work’s impact has led to offers of support for future projects, for which they are deeply appreciative.

Rejuvenating forgotten corners of the city with art, DUUDOOR’s project is a testament to the transformative power of creativity. Their initiative invites us all to imagine how we might use our own talents to breathe life into spaces around us. It’s a powerful example of how art can not only beautify a space but also bring together a community.

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.
More: 8 Inspiring Sculptures Seamlessly Integrated with Nature
1. Melancholy — Albert György in Geneva, Switzerland

This bronze sculpture of a seated figure appears hollowed out from within, forming an arched void from chest to head. The minimalist facial features and slumped posture evoke absence and loss, using emptiness as its central element.
2. Window and Ladder – Too Late for Help — Leandro Erlich in Montevideo, Uruguay

A fragment of brick wall with a single window floats mid-air, supported by a ladder that leads nowhere. Placed in an empty lot, this illusion-based sculpture alters space and challenges logic.
3. Border Hammock — Murat Gök in Istanbul, Turkey

Two fence poles curve inward to cradle a man resting in a hammock made from the fence itself. By bending an otherwise rigid border element into a place of rest, the sculpture offers a quiet yet clever political statement.
4. Freedom — Zenos Frudakis in Philadelphia, USA

This bronze wall shows four human forms in various stages of breaking free, culminating in a fully emerged figure stepping into open space. It explores transformation and personal liberation.
5. Giant Slingshot Bench — Cornelia Konrads in Germany

A wooden bench is suspended by two long red straps tied to a massive Y-shaped branch. The setup mimics a slingshot ready to launch, blending utility with playful imagination.
6. Dignity — Dale Lamphere in Chamberlain, South Dakota, USA

Standing 50 feet tall, this stainless steel monument honors Native American women. The figure wears a star quilt composed of blue diamond shapes that shimmer in the wind.
7. The Kiss of Death — Unknown Artist in Barcelona, Spain

This marble sculpture in Poblenou Cemetery shows a skeleton with wings gently kissing the forehead of a lifeless young man. Created in 1930, it’s both romantic and haunting.
8. The Weight of Grief — Celeste Roberge in Portland, Maine, USA

A crouched human form is constructed from a metal frame filled with smooth river stones. The heavy material and posture communicate emotional burden through literal weight.
9. UMI — Daniel Popper in Lisle, Illinois, USA

This monumental figure is composed of sculpted wood and branches shaped into a female form. Her hands and body are formed by intertwining tree limbs, suggesting organic unity.

17 Times Nikita Nomerz Brought Walls to Life

Content warning: Street Art by Street Artist Nikita Nomerz from Nizhny Novgorod, Russia.

528694

Nikita Nomerz transforms abandoned structures into living, expressive faces, blending street art with the natural decay of urban landscapes.

His murals breathe new life into crumbling buildings, bridges, and water towers across Russia, turning them into characters full of personality and depth. By working with the contours and textures of these forgotten spaces, Nomerz creates a unique dialogue between art and architecture.

The Living Wall

In 2010, on the banks of the Oka River in Nizhny Novgorod, the Living Walls project began with the first street art piece, Big Brother. This marked the start of a series of works aimed at giving a second life to abandoned buildings. Each piece interacts with its environment, turning architectural elements—windows, cracks, and textures—into expressive faces and characters.

Street art and traditional studio painting evoke entirely different emotions. Creating art in public spaces sparks a dialogue with passersby, architecture, and nature, making the work feel truly alive. While street art may be temporary, it develops its own unique life, shaped by time and its surroundings.

The Three Faces

Three large, rounded concrete blocks are brought to life with highly expressive faces—one smiling, one baring its teeth in frustration, and another with a discontented expression.

The Prisoner

An abandoned building becomes a striking illusion of a man gripping iron bars, as if trying to break free from confinement. The black-and-white vertical lines reinforce the idea of imprisonment, turning the deteriorating structure into a powerful statement about captivity and escape.

The Screaming Bunker

The Firm Grip

The Hidden Prisoner

Whether it’s an oversized paint tube spilling vibrant flowers onto a lawn, a set of book-shaped benches that celebrate literacy, or a gravity-defying rock sculpture that challenges perception, these installations redefine how we interact with public spaces.

From humorous street stencils to surreal benches that seem to defy physics, these examples highlight how artists turn urban landscapes into imaginative works of art.

Sculptures You (probably) Didn’t Know Existed (30 Photos)

I love stumbling upon art that feels like a hidden gem—those incredible sculptures that stop you in your tracks and make you wonder, “How did I not know this existed?”

From massive figures seemingly rising from the earth to intricate works that play with gravity, these sculptures redefine what’s possible. 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.
More: Sculptures With True Creativity (12 Photos)
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.

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.

5. The Christ the Redeemer statue, standing atop Corcovado Mountain in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, is one of the world’s most recognizable landmarks.

This 30-meter (98 ft) tall statue, with arms stretching 28 meters (92 ft) wide, overlooks the city, symbolizing peace and welcoming all with open arms. 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.

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. The sculpture captures the fine details of the lacework, folds, and textures, showcasing Mouchy’s skill in replicating soft fabrics in hard marble, a testament to his mastery of the medium. The statue also displays the figure’s elaborate curls and formal attire, highlighting the elegance and refinement typical of 18th-century French sculpture.
20. The Ecstasy of Saint Teresa, a renowned Baroque sculpture by Gian Lorenzo Bernini, located in the Cornaro Chapel of Santa Maria della Vittoria in Rome.

This intricate marble sculpture depicts Saint Teresa of Ávila in a moment of religious ecstasy, her face expressing both pain and bliss as an angel holds a golden spear poised above her. Radiant golden rays crafted from gilded bronze descend from above, symbolizing divine light and adding dramatic intensity to the scene.
21. Luo Li Rong is a contemporary artist renowned for crafting hyper-realistic clay and bronze sculptures.
22. The Dignity statue in South Dakota, a stunning 50-foot-tall sculpture of a Native American woman draped in a star quilt.

The statue features a blend of metal and vibrant blue diamond shapes that catch the light, symbolizing the cultural heritage and spirit of the Lakota and Dakota people. The woman’s expression is serene, with her arms outstretched as if embracing the landscape around her.
24. Freedom Sculpture, Philadelphia

“I wanted to create a sculpture almost anyone, regardless of their background, could look at and instantly recognize that it is about the idea of struggling to break free. This sculpture is about the struggle for achievement of freedom through the creative process” — Zenos Frudakis:
25. The vision of Constantine by Bernini is arguably one of the most underrated sculpture in art history.

Gian Lorenzo revolutionized the art form by infusing unprecedented movement into stone.
26. The Mud Maid by Sue Hill, located in the Lost Garden of Heligan, Cornwall, UK.

Depending on the time of the year, the mud maid’s hair and clothes change when the seasonal plants and moss grow over the sculpture.
More: Mud Maid – Living sculpture by Sue and Pete Hill (5 photos and video).
27. Departure, a stunning bronze sculpture by artist George Lundeen, highlighted by the frost.

The sculpture is subtly highlighted by a layer of frost, enhancing the scene with a sense of cold and quiet intimacy, as if capturing a moment of departure or waiting.
28. The Resting Boxer, crafted more than 2,000 years ago, is one of the most realistic sculptures ever made and one of the finest examples of bronze sculptures to have survived from the ancient world.

It was excavated in Rome in 1885. Its incredible features, such as its pose, gaze, broken nose, cauliflower ears, scarred face, and bruised eyes, have been enchanting the world ever since.
30. The mesmerizing details of The West Wind, a surreal marble sculpture by American artist Thomas Ridgeway Gould.

Gould’s masterpiece likely drew inspiration from Percy Shelley’s “Ode to the West Wind,” in which the west wind serves as an allegory for the cyclical nature of change and revolution:
