In Warsaw, there’s a mural that pays tribute to Kora, a legendary Polish musician and cultural icon.

Created by artist Bruno Althamer, the mural spans the side of a large building, depicting the four seasons with dynamic colors and thoughtful details. One standout feature is how Kora’s hair changes with each season, blending beautifully into the surrounding artwork.

Honoring Kora’s Legacy

Kora was admired for her trailblazing music and unmistakable voice. She passed away in 2018, but her influence remains strong. This mural is both a tribute and a reminder of her lasting contributions, inviting viewers to celebrate her enduring impact on Polish culture.

The Four Seasons Concept

Bruno Althamer’s design uses the seasons to represent life’s cycles—growth, change, and renewal. Spring features soft pastels and blossoming flowers, summer is alive with lush greens and bright yellows, autumn glows with golden leaves, and winter is serene in shades of blue and white. Kora’s portrait weaves these elements together, anchoring the mural as a meaningful part of Warsaw’s artistic landscape.

The Douglas Fir known as the “Giant Hand of Vyrnwy” was once the tallest tree in the UK, standing over 50 meters high.

But as it grew older and weaker, it became unsafe. Instead of cutting it down completely, artist Simon O’Rourke turned what was left of the tree into a giant hand sculpture reaching for the sky.

“The Forestry Commission, who are looking after the area, decided that it would be a good idea to have a memorial to the tree and left a 50-foot stem when they felled it,” said O’Rourke. “They invited eight artists to tender for the job, and I got it.”

The sculpture is now part of a place called The Giants of Vyrnwy, which inspired O’Rourke’s idea. “There are a few tall Douglas firs growing in the Giants of Vyrnwy area, and I was going on the giants theme,” he explained.

O’Rourke, who has been carving wood for nine years, used 12 different chainsaws to make the sculpture. He has also carved other things, like a swan, an angel, a kingfisher, a chipmunk, and a giant clock.

In 2011, the tree was found leaning dangerously to one side. It also had two large cracks going up from its roots to about 3.5 meters high. To keep visitors safe, the Forestry Commission decided to cut it down. Before this, a tree expert had climbed it to confirm it was the tallest tree in the UK, ensuring its story would be remembered even after it was turned into art.

“Brazilian street artist Eduardo Kobra is currently finishing his tribute to the Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer, who passed away last december at the age of 104. The new mural is 52 meters tall, 16 meters wide and it covers the entire side of a skyscraper on Paulista Avenue, one of Sao Paulo’s busiest streets.

The work started on January 14th and since then, Kobra and four other artists from his team have been working on the painting around 6 hours a day to finish all the details.

The artwork was inspired by Niemeyer’s architecture and among the colorful forms the viewer will find that some of them were based on Niemeyer’s works.

The credits of the pictures shall be given to the brazilian photographer Alan Teixeira”
