In December 2024, the Iwayagawachi Dam in Japan turned into a giant canvas for an amazing piece of reverse graffiti featuring Godzilla.
This project, called the “Godzilla in Saga Dam Art Project Powered by Kärcher,” marked two special anniversaries: the dam’s 50th birthday and Godzilla’s 70th birthday.
A team of experts from Kärcher used powerful high-pressure cleaning tools to carefully wash away dirt, moss, and algae from the dam’s surface. By doing this, they created a huge picture of Godzilla towering over a city. The team followed a “paint by numbers” method, where climbers hanging from ropes used laser markers to outline the design before cleaning.
The reverse graffiti technique used on the dam demonstrates how it could be applied to underutilized structures or make large-scale art more accessible and sustainable.

Street art, often called urban art or public art, transforms ordinary urban spaces into exciting canvases for creativity.
From graffiti to large-scale murals, it connects people through bold visuals and meaningful stories. But what exactly is street art, and why has it become such a significant cultural movement? Let’s dive into the world of street art to uncover its essence, history, and impact.
What Is Street Art?
Street art, also known as graffiti art or urban art, refers to visual art created in public spaces, typically without official permission. This lack of authorization historically shaped its rebellious nature, positioning street art as a form of reclaiming and democratizing public spaces. By challenging societal norms and disrupting conventional ideas of ownership, it became a powerful medium for marginalized voices to express themselves in shared urban landscapes.
It encompasses a wide range of techniques and styles, from graffiti and murals to stencils, stickers, and installations. Unlike traditional art confined to galleries, street art is accessible to everyone, often carrying messages that reflect social, political, or personal themes.
Emerging as an underground movement, street art has evolved into a respected art form celebrated worldwide. Today, it’s recognized as a way to beautify urban landscapes, spark conversations, and challenge societal norms.
Types of Street Art
Street art is incredibly diverse, showcasing a variety of techniques and mediums. These types highlight the evolution of street art, graffiti art, and other forms of public art from rebellious beginnings to a celebrated global phenomenon. Here are some popular types:
- Graffiti: Often involving spray paint, graffiti typically features stylized lettering and is one of the earliest forms of street art.
- Murals: Large-scale paintings on walls, often commissioned to revitalize neighborhoods.
- Stencils: Designs cut into templates and spray-painted onto surfaces, allowing for quick replication.
- Wheat-Pasting: Posters adhered to walls with paste, often featuring bold graphics or slogans.
- Mosaics: Small tiles arranged to create intricate designs or images.
- Yarn Bombing: Knitted or crocheted installations wrapped around objects like poles or benches.
- Sculptural Installations: 3D works integrated into the urban environment, such as small figurines or large installations.
- Stickers: Small, adhesive artworks often used for branding or quick artistic expression.
- Guerrilla Gardening: Planting greenery or flowers in neglected urban spaces to create living, artistic statements.
Why Is Street Art Important?
Street art goes beyond aesthetics; it serves as a powerful medium for:
- Cultural Expression: Reflecting the identity and values of a community.
- Social and Political Commentary: Highlighting issues like inequality, climate change, or human rights.
- Urban Revitalization: Transforming neglected spaces into vibrant attractions.
- Community Engagement: Inspiring conversations and fostering a sense of belonging.

Since 2006, OAKOAK has had streets, walls, sidewalks and roads as its playground. Originally from Saint Etienne, he sticks his drawings in each of the places he crosses in order to create a smile in the pedestrian at the bend of a street where he does not expect it.
His approach consists of diverting urban elements, playing with flaws that at first glance seem of no particular interest, such as cracks in a wall. He thus adds his own vision, his own references which often relate to the geek universe. A way of imagining the urban space in a more poetic way.From playful interactions with crosswalks to whimsical depictions of beloved cartoon characters like Homer Simpson and Obelix, Oakoak’s work brings a fresh perspective to the streets.

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.

45 Purrfect Street Art Pieces: A Tribute to Our Cats
The world of street art is a vibrant, ever-evolving canvas that reflects the thoughts, ideas, and aesthetics of diverse cultures around the globe. Among this profusion of creativity, one subject stands out and continues to inspire artists across borders and continents – the cat.
This feline-inspired street art phenomenon is far-reaching, with each corner of the world lending its own unique perspective to the representation of cats in public art. In the bustling cities of Japan, for example, where the cat is considered a symbol of good luck, you might spot murals depicting ‘Maneki-neko’ or the ‘beckoning cat’, a common Japanese talisman believed to bring fortune and prosperity.Across the Atlantic, in the urban landscapes of New York or Los Angeles, artists portray cats as emblems of the city’s spirit – independent, resourceful, and resilient. These murals often depict cats prowling rooftops or lounging lazily in the sun-drenched corners of the city, much like their human counterparts.
The styles in this collection range from super realistic to bold and colorful. Each piece tells its own story, celebrating how much people love cats. This collection is full of surprises and purr-sonality!

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

See how it is made and from other points of view: Stunning Optical Illusion Mural by ShozyThe Pioneers: Kurt Wenner and Julian Beever
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

Sasha Korban Ukrainian street artist, best known for his huge murals that have captured the attention of art enthusiasts around the world.
Born in 1987 in Kirovskoye, a small town in the Donetsk region of Ukraine, Korban began his artistic journey by doing graffiti in his hometown during the early 2000s. Korban’s artistry truly blossomed when he moved to Kyiv, where he started to develop his unique style by blending elements of realism, symbolism, and abstraction.
Sasha Korban’s work has been featured in numerous national and international street art festivals, including Mural Social Club, Art United Us, and Mural Istanbul. His artwork graces the walls of cities across Europe and beyond, from Kyiv and Moscow to Istanbul and Paris.

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. His work is a testament to the power of art to communicate, heal, and bring people together, making the world a more vibrant and connected place.
Sasha Korban: “The day will come, when the war is over… To the ones who will see their beloved ones again and the ones who will not.”
Don’t forget to check out more of Sasha Korban’s incredible work by visiting Instagram. Stay updated on his latest projects and street art creations by following his online presence.
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.

Street art, often called urban art or public art, transforms ordinary urban spaces into exciting canvases for creativity.
From graffiti to large-scale murals, it connects people through bold visuals and meaningful stories. But what exactly is street art, and why has it become such a significant cultural movement? Let’s dive into the world of street art to uncover its essence, history, and impact.

What Is Street Art?
Street art, also known as graffiti art or urban art, refers to visual art created in public spaces, typically without official permission. This lack of authorization historically shaped its rebellious nature, positioning street art as a form of reclaiming and democratizing public spaces. By challenging societal norms and disrupting conventional ideas of ownership, it became a powerful medium for marginalized voices to express themselves in shared urban landscapes.It encompasses a wide range of techniques and styles, from graffiti and murals to stencils, stickers, and installations. Unlike traditional art confined to galleries, street art is accessible to everyone, often carrying messages that reflect social, political, or personal themes.
Emerging as an underground movement, street art has evolved into a respected art form celebrated worldwide. Today, it’s recognized as a way to beautify urban landscapes, spark conversations, and challenge societal norms.
Types of Street Art
Street art is incredibly diverse, showcasing a variety of techniques and mediums. These types highlight the evolution of street art, graffiti art, and other forms of public art from rebellious beginnings to a celebrated global phenomenon. Here are some popular types:
- Graffiti: Often involving spray paint, graffiti typically features stylized lettering and is one of the earliest forms of street art.
- Murals: Large-scale paintings on walls, often commissioned to revitalize neighborhoods.
- Stencils: Designs cut into templates and spray-painted onto surfaces, allowing for quick replication.
- Wheat-Pasting: Posters adhered to walls with paste, often featuring bold graphics or slogans.
- Mosaics: Small tiles arranged to create intricate designs or images.
- Yarn Bombing: Knitted or crocheted installations wrapped around objects like poles or benches.
- Sculptural Installations: 3D works integrated into the urban environment, such as small figurines or large installations.
- Stickers: Small, adhesive artworks often used for branding or quick artistic expression.
- Guerrilla Gardening: Planting greenery or flowers in neglected urban spaces to create living, artistic statements.

1.
A line of skeletons labeled with different identities—race, religion, and more—yet all the same beneath it all. Except for the pirate, who stands with one leg, proving even skeletons have some character. The point? We’re all just bones.
2.
Two skeletons sit together, beers in hand, but the liquid spills right through their ribcages—drinking without a stomach has its challenges. A darkly funny nod to International Beer Day.
3.
One skeleton holds another’s spine—literally. Dark humor at its best.
4.
A skeleton in a hoodie, arms raised, stands above a sign reading “Thoughts & Prayers”—calling out empty words after tragedy. A blunt take on empty responses to gun violence.
5.
A literal take on being ‘hung out to dry’—left exposed, abandoned, or just waiting to be noticed.

Muralist Emmanuel Cuevas Visual
Mural of Frida Kahlo by Emmanuel Cuevas Visual at La Lupita Cantinain in Guadalajara, Mexico.
Frida Kahlo (1907-1954) was a renowned Mexican painter known for her deeply personal and vivid self-portraits, which often explored themes of identity, pain, and the human body. Born in Coyoacán, Mexico, Kahlo’s life was marked by physical suffering, stemming from a bus accident that left her with severe injuries. As a result, she underwent numerous surgeries and spent extended periods of time bedridden. During these times, she turned to painting as a means of self-expression and coping with her pain.
The mural at La Lupita Cantina in Guadalajara, Mexico, created by artist Emmanuel Cuevas Visual, is a tribute to Frida Kahlo’s life and work. The portrait depicts Kahlo opening up to reveal her skeleton, which may be an artistic representation of her personal struggles and physical pain. By incorporating Kahlo’s skeleton, the mural alludes to her enduring strength and resilience in the face of adversity. Additionally, it emphasizes the themes of vulnerability, introspection, and the exploration of one’s inner self, which were central to Kahlo’s own artistic practice.
The choice to create a mural of Frida Kahlo at La Lupita Cantina speaks to her importance as a cultural icon in Mexico and beyond. Kahlo’s work continues to inspire artists and serves as a powerful symbol of Mexican identity, feminism, and the perseverance of the human spirit.

WD: Owl symbolizes wisdom and at the same time is a symbol of the goddess Athena, the one that gave her name to the city of Athens. From the other hand owl as bird, is famous for its exceptionally good far vision, particularly in low light. Nowadays Greece, and not only, is experiencing a really dark phase and I think is time for us, in Greece and around the globe, to recall this creature’s wisdom.

“Garden Swallow” in Ronda, Andalucia. Spain.
Fabián Bravo Guerrero about the mural: The “Garden Swallow” mural is a beautiful work of art that conveys a very profound message about the connection between nature and humans. In the mural, a child surrounded by pots of flowers holds a swallow in his hand, and both look at each other with deep tenderness.
The image of the mural represents the harmony that exists between human beings and nature, in this case, between the child and the swallow. The presence of the swallow in the child’s garden also conveys a message about the importance of these animals in controlling mosquito and other insect pests, and the need to protect their nests and habitat.
In addition, the mural also reflects the symbolism that swallows have in popular culture, especially in Andalusian patios, where they are considered a symbol of eternal love and respect for the couple. The image of the child with the swallow transmits a message of love and respect towards nature and the living beings that inhabit it.
“Raices” in Algeciras, Spain for Asociación RecreArte.
Fabián Bravo Guerrero about the mural: In this beautiful mural titled ‘Raíces’, the eternal legacy of Andalusian flamenco that transcends generations is represented. In the center of the composition, a girl with a deep look and full of passion, hugs her guitar with devotion and dedication. Her fingers, Like dancing petals, they caress the strings, releasing melodies impregnated with sentiment and ancestral experience.
Around her, exquisitely displayed pink flowers intertwine with the air, symbolizing the beauty and delicacy of flamenco. These flowers, as symbols of the Andalusian land, are a tribute to the flamenco artists born in Algeciras, who, with their talent and passion, have left an indelible mark on the art world.
The ‘Raíces’ mural captures the very essence of flamenco, that magical connection that is transmitted from generation to generation, like an ancestral whisper that resonates in every chord and every beat. It is a tribute to the strength and power of music, capable of moving us and transporting us to deep places of the soul, reminding us of our roots and our cultural identity.
May this work endure over time as a living symbol of the greatness and passion of Andalusian flamenco, and as a tribute to those artists who have left an indelible legacy in Algeciras and in the world of flamenco art.
“Swallows” in Casablanca, Morocco for Casamouja.
Fabián Bravo Guerrero about the mural: Swallows represent respect, love and fidelity, they are migratory birds, which usually migrate to Africa, that’s why I chose to paint them here in Casablanca, the almond flowers, makes the swallows stand out more.
I decided to paint the background with Arab tiles, and turquoise, white and reddish color’s, in tribute to the “Hassan II Mosque” (the second largest in the world) that was near the mural.
“Fragile Balance” in Estepona, Spain.
Fabián Bravo Guerrero about the mural: According to data from the Specialized System for Reporting Cases of School Violence (Siseve) from the Ministry of Education, a total of 20,604 bullying reports were recorded nationwide between 2023 and the first quarter of 2024 alone.
This is what the mural is about.
In it, we see a teenage girl climbing a staircase toward the moon, which shines brightly and illuminates the entire scene.
The moon represents everything the girl has dreamed of.
She wants to reach it—like we all do—but she’s carrying a heavy backpack: filled with insults, rejection, fear, loneliness…
And how will her story end?
On one hand, the girl might reach her goals thanks to the help she receives after her bullying case becomes known.
On the other hand, she might not make it. The weight of her backpack is so heavy that it throws off her balance, and she can’t reach her destination.
With this, I aim to reflect the internal struggle faced by those experiencing bullying, highlighting the importance of offering support—before the weight becomes too much to bear.

HERA, a German street artist, has made a name for herself with murals that blend fine art and graffiti.
After stepping away from HERAKUT, she now works independently, creating large-scale art that often features humans and animals in dreamlike, emotional scenes. HERA’s style mixes detailed brushwork with the raw energy of street art, inviting viewers to connect with the deep stories her work tells. She continues to inspire with her unique, heartfelt murals found in cities around the world.

“Wild Child” by HERA in Civitacampomarano, Italy.
HERA about Wild Child: Choosing a stray cat as the hero of a piece of public art is my way of attempting a balance between the existing monuments of some pompous monarchs or war generals and the real inhabitants of a place. I want the little ones, the real ones, the actual souls of the streets to be recognized. I want to pay homage to the ones who surely have fought through their fair share of struggles, and have their scars to prove it, but chose to for the most days just quietly exists, mind their business and remind us to enjoy even the uneventful days.
By HERA in Vincennes, France for Le Point Millepages.
Translation of the murals text: The children asked the fox how to escape from everyday life. He answers “it’s easy, all you need is to open a book”

By HERA in Karlstad, Sweden for Karlstad Street Art curated by Huderrederre.
HERA: Because I work when I freestyle i came to the wall without a sketch and spend my time listening to what locals said about Karlstad. Every detail of this artwork was inspired by some info I came across at the spot, but also its overall theme about hospitality.
The words on the upper left side read “Sola i Karlstad” which was the nickname of one particularly friendly tavern waitress and innkeeper in the city back in the 18th century; Eva Lisa Holtz. I think it’s absolutely amazing that the city even has a statue for her. How many cities in the world can say that they consider a sunny disposition and kindness as monument-worthy traits? I just love that!
So, that and the fact that being a good host is a ton of effort, I felt like I should dedicate this mural art to everyone who uses their time on earth to nurture others. And to unite others, no matter how far apart they usually sit.

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.

About SMUG from Vantage Point Radio (click link to here a podcast with SMUG):
SMUG is, and has been for many years, one of the leaders in the clubhouse when it comes to realistic portrait murals. His output is beyond impressive and the number of murals he paints in a year is almost unbelievable, but to him… “it’s just what I do.” His massive portraits can span anywhere from one story to 14 stories high but the detail and crispness of the image is the same every time. Over decades of painting walls, SMUG has developed a distinctive and immediately recognizable style which is not always easy for someone who paints realistically. His selection of slightly unconventional models and more importantly his very specific use of light and shadow are undeniably SMUG and exquisitely executed every time.

A Timeless Tale of Friendship Immortalized in Antwerp
Content warning: Discover the moving sculpture of Nello and Patrasche in Antwerp, Belgium—a timeless tribute to love, loyalty, and friendship inspired by A Dog of Flanders.
In the heart of Antwerp, Belgium, a touching sculpture by artist Batist Vermeulen, also known as Tist, brings to life the beloved story of Nello and his loyal dog Patrasche.
Inspired by the 1872 novel A Dog of Flanders by Marie Louise de la Ramée (pseudonym Ouida), this poignant artwork has become a symbol of enduring friendship and resilience.
The Story Behind the Sculpture
Set in Antwerp, the novel follows the bond between Nello, an orphaned boy, and Patrasche, an abandoned cart dog. Their journey of love and struggle culminates in a heart-wrenching moment inside the Cathedral of Our Lady, where the two find solace together in their final moments.
The sculpture, located near the Cathedral, captures this emotional scene with Nello and Patrasche lying under a blanket seamlessly integrated into the square’s cobblestone design. It’s a powerful reminder of the hardships they faced and the strength of their connection.

While rooted in Belgium, the story of Nello and Patrasche gained immense popularity in Japan, South Korea, and the Philippines, largely thanks to a 1970s anime adaptation.

A Monument for All

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.

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.

15. Close-up views of Gian Lorenzo Bernini’s marble statue of David, housed in the Galleria Borghese in Rome, Italy.

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:More: Sculptures That Blend With Nature (10 Photos)

“The Wave Is Coming” by Shozy in Balashikha, Russia
Street Artist Shozy
“The Wave Is Coming” by Shozy for International Mural Festival. You can find the facade at Zheleznodorozhny, Novaya, 7 in Balashikha, Russia.Shozy (direct translation): This is a 14-story panel house with an illusory end. Distorting and bubbling windows create dissonance with the usual geometry of panels. Some floors glitch apart, adding a digital spice, the seams between the panels bend, creating the base of an illusory form, and the composition is completed by a slit in the sky that devastates the house. Like other works in this series, this façade invites the viewer to look at familiar things from a new point of view, look for aesthetics among painfully familiar elements of the Russian urban landscape and simply be surprised, deceived, but still satisfied.

Peeta is a Venice based graffiti artist since ‘93, muralist, oil painter and sculptor.
Peeta: “I loved this building since the beginning and I tried my best to combine multidisciplinary skills to transform it while keeping its original taste. Thanks to the city of Mannheim and the great people that supported and worked on this project.”
More: Anamorphic mural by Peeta in Padova, Italy
Anamorphic art is a technique that creates the illusion of three-dimensionality on a two-dimensional surface.
By using perspective distortion, artists manipulate how the artwork is viewed from specific angles, making flat images appear as though they are popping out of the surface. This method has been widely used in murals and street art, where artists like Peeta transform buildings, pavements, and walls into stunning optical illusions. The goal of anamorphic art is to challenge the viewer’s perception of reality through clever design and perspective tricks.

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.

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
The Impact: Engaging and Interactive Art
One of the most captivating aspects of 3D street art is its interactive nature. Viewers are encouraged to engage with the artwork, often becoming a part of the scene themselves. This immersive quality allows people to connect with art on a deeper level, sparking curiosity and inspiring creativity.6

Diving Into the World of Odeith’s Anamorphic Graffiti
Portuguese street artist Sergio Odeith, also known as Sérgio Odeith, has gained international recognition for his jaw-dropping 3D graffiti pieces that defy the limits of perception. In this blog post, we’ll explore 20 of his most astonishing works and delve into the world of this master of illusion.🔗 Follow Odeith on Instagram
Odeith’s Background and Style
Odeith began his graffiti career in the 1980s, honing his skills on the streets of Lisbon. Over the years, he has refined his technique and developed his signature style, characterized by bold colors, intricate details, and mind-bending optical illusions (read more about him later in this post).
The Art of Creating 3D Graffiti
Odeith’s 3D graffiti art is a perfect blend of skill, perspective, and creativity. By employing anamorphic techniques and masterful shading, he transforms ordinary walls and objects into realistic three-dimensional scenes that appear to leap off the surface.Odeith’s Signature Subject Matter
Odeith is known for tackling a wide range of subject matter in his work, from animals and insects to urban landscapes and fantastical creatures. His pieces often feature a sense of movement and depth, drawing viewers into his vivid, illusionary world.
Exploring Odeith’s Most Astonishing Works
Among Odeith’s most remarkable pieces are his larger-than-life murals of animals, including a majestic lion, a menacing crocodile, and an otherworldly praying mantis. These works not only showcase his technical prowess but also highlight his ability to breathe life into his subjects.
Odeith’s Impact on the Street Art Scene
Odeith’s innovative 3D graffiti art has earned him a reputation as one of the most talented and influential artists in the street art world. His work has inspired countless other artists and raised the bar for what is possible with spray paint and a blank canvas.
Odeith’s Background and Style: A Deeper Dive
Born in Damaia, Portugal, in 1976, Sérgio ‘Odeith’ first picked up a spray can in the mid-1980s, painting signatures and doodles on his neighborhood walls. It wasn’t until the mid-1990s that he encountered graffiti artists in Carcavelos, where the movement was gaining momentum. This sparked a passion for graffiti that led him to paint illegally on street walls and railway lines in and around Lisbon.
Odeith’s impressive evolution as an artist is due in part to his dedication to painting large-scale murals in various neighborhoods throughout Damaia, Carcavelos, and Amadora. Although he dropped out of school at the age of 15 and never received any formal art training, Odeith’s talent for drawing and his relentless self-taught approach to his craft led him to become the renowned artist he is today.
In 2003, Odeith adopted his current moniker, and by 2005, his innovative use of the anamorphosis technique began garnering international recognition. This “Somber 3D” style, as he later called it, involves painting on 90-degree corners or flat walls to create authentic, large-scale compositions of insects or objects that give a striking 3D optical illusion effect. Many of these works, painted in abandoned spaces, quickly went viral due to their realism and technique.
Odeith briefly lived in London after closing his tattoo shop in 2008, but he has since returned to Lisbon, where he now focuses exclusively on studio work and walls. Despite his lack of formal training, Odeith has become a pioneering force in the world of street art, with his dark anamorphic style and passion for the craft setting him apart from other artists.

The Lasting Impact of Odeith’s Innovative Street Art
Odeith’s jaw-dropping 3D graffiti art is a testament to the power of creativity, skill, and imagination. These 18 captivating pieces offer just a glimpse into the mind of this master of illusion, whose work continues to push the boundaries of what is possible in the world of street art.

3D Art By Odeith (20 Photos)

Diving Into the World of Odeith’s Anamorphic Graffiti
Portuguese street artist Sergio Odeith, also known as Sérgio Odeith, has gained international recognition for his jaw-dropping 3D graffiti pieces that defy the limits of perception. In this blog post, we’ll explore 20 of his most astonishing works and delve into the world of this master of illusion.
🔗 Follow Odeith on Instagram
Odeith’s Background and Style
Odeith began his graffiti career in the 1980s, honing his skills on the streets of Lisbon. Over the years, he has refined his technique and developed his signature style, characterized by bold colors, intricate details, and mind-bending optical illusions (read more about him later in this post).
The Art of Creating 3D Graffiti
Odeith’s 3D graffiti art is a perfect blend of skill, perspective, and creativity. By employing anamorphic techniques and masterful shading, he transforms ordinary walls and objects into realistic three-dimensional scenes that appear to leap off the surface.
Odeith’s Signature Subject Matter
Odeith is known for tackling a wide range of subject matter in his work, from animals and insects to urban landscapes and fantastical creatures. His pieces often feature a sense of movement and depth, drawing viewers into his vivid, illusionary world.
Exploring Odeith’s Most Astonishing Works
Among Odeith’s most remarkable pieces are his larger-than-life murals of animals, including a majestic lion, a menacing crocodile, and an otherworldly praying mantis. These works not only showcase his technical prowess but also highlight his ability to breathe life into his subjects.
Odeith’s Impact on the Street Art Scene
Odeith’s innovative 3D graffiti art has earned him a reputation as one of the most talented and influential artists in the street art world. His work has inspired countless other artists and raised the bar for what is possible with spray paint and a blank canvas.
Odeith’s Background and Style: A Deeper Dive
Born in Damaia, Portugal, in 1976, Sérgio ‘Odeith’ first picked up a spray can in the mid-1980s, painting signatures and doodles on his neighborhood walls. It wasn’t until the mid-1990s that he encountered graffiti artists in Carcavelos, where the movement was gaining momentum. This sparked a passion for graffiti that led him to paint illegally on street walls and railway lines in and around Lisbon.
Odeith’s impressive evolution as an artist is due in part to his dedication to painting large-scale murals in various neighborhoods throughout Damaia, Carcavelos, and Amadora. Although he dropped out of school at the age of 15 and never received any formal art training, Odeith’s talent for drawing and his relentless self-taught approach to his craft led him to become the renowned artist he is today.
In 2003, Odeith adopted his current moniker, and by 2005, his innovative use of the anamorphosis technique began garnering international recognition. This “Somber 3D” style, as he later called it, involves painting on 90-degree corners or flat walls to create authentic, large-scale compositions of insects or objects that give a striking 3D optical illusion effect. Many of these works, painted in abandoned spaces, quickly went viral due to their realism and technique.
Odeith briefly lived in London after closing his tattoo shop in 2008, but he has since returned to Lisbon, where he now focuses exclusively on studio work and walls. Despite his lack of formal training, Odeith has become a pioneering force in the world of street art, with his dark anamorphic style and passion for the craft setting him apart from other artists.
