Embracing the Journey: Bruno Catalano’s Vision
In the vast and versatile world of sculpture, few artists can make a claim to a style so unique that it becomes instantly recognizable. Bruno Catalano is one such artist. His bronze sculptures, characterized by their distinct fragmented form, have become a beacon of contemporary art, illuminating the themes of travel, migration, and journeying that are intrinsically woven into the human experience.
Born in Morocco to a Sicilian family and later moving to France, Catalano’s life has been defined by movement and change. As a young man, he spent years sailing the seas, his voyages taking him to far corners of the globe. These experiences seeped into his art, creating a unique perspective that is both personal and universal.
His most famous series, “The Travelers,” embodies this perspective. Each figure, while physically incomplete, feels emotionally whole. These sculptures, with their substantial sections missing, are a metaphor for the artist’s own feelings of incompleteness caused by his extensive travels.
This article dives into the fascinating world of Bruno Catalano, exploring his inspiration, the development of his unique artistic style, and the profound impact of his work.
1.
Navigating Life’s Seas: Catalano’s Own Odyssey
Bruno Catalano was born in 1960 in Morocco, to a family of Sicilian origin. His early life was enriched by a vibrant blend of cultures, a foundation that shaped his perspective of the world and his understanding of identity. The intricate tapestry of his early experiences would go on to influence his artistic expression, forming the basis for his unique, fragmented sculptures.
When Catalano was ten years old, his family relocated to Marseille, France, setting him on a path of migration that would significantly influence his work. Moving to a new country as a child is a transformative experience, one that often leaves lasting imprints. For Catalano, this transition shaped his perception of home, identity, and belonging, themes that would later become central to his art.
In his twenties, Catalano’s life took another dramatic turn as he became a sailor. He spent several years journeying across the globe, exploring the world’s vastness while experiencing a sense of detachment from his roots. The feeling of being scattered across various places, of leaving pieces of oneself behind with every move, is a sentiment that deeply resonated with Catalano.
His voyages on the sea were not just physical journeys but also emotional and psychological explorations. The experiences of constant motion, of witnessing new places and cultures, and of grappling with the feeling of being perpetually in transit profoundly impacted his personal and artistic development.
In many ways, Catalano’s life has been a series of voyages, each one leaving him a little more fragmented, a little more spread out across the globe. His personal journey, from Morocco to France and beyond, is not just a tale of geographical migration but also a profound exploration of the human condition, of identity and belonging, of home and displacement. These themes, so central to his life, have found a powerful expression in his iconic sculptures, inviting us to reflect on our own journeys and the fragments we leave behind.

Street Artist Bifido
By Bifidoat Viale Giosuè Carducci, 33 in Gambettola, Italy for Bosco – Urban Art Project.
Bifido (direct translation): This wall belongs to an old abandoned tobacco factory. For years, people of all sexes and ages have worked inside it, many hours a day. As is the case in thousands of other places. A life at work, a life without life. Life in your free time, spent being entertained in some refreshing recreational activity. I often think of the concept of free time. I hate free time. It is the charity of a society that wants us to be slaves. You are pregnant with a sweat that exhausts, without giving joy. Making a work at work for me meant expressing all my dissent against this absurd idea that work (as a mere sustenance) gives meaning to our life. Making art is my job and I love it.Photo by Barbara B

Bitter is a lost taste, even though bitterness is delicious and cures
Mural by Mona Caron for Exomusée , Le Locle, Switzerland. Drone shots by Mauro Neri.
Mona Caron: Gentiana Lutea – studding the landscape here in the highs of the Jura mountains, standing tall in the rolling meadows like little flagpoles marking the spots where you can dig for its magic and prized bitter root, a key ingredient of many vermouths, liqueurs, firewaters, syrups and tinctures, here in the homeland of Absinthe.
Bitter is a lost taste, even though bitterness is delicious and cures. Addiction to the sweet has narrowed the spectrum of pleasures that palates can enjoy, keeping many from healthy habits.
So I offer this bitter-rooted wildflower, a field weed as metaphor of resilience through the strength we gain by daring something feared, perhaps uncomfortably new but actually ancient, unearthing both medicine and pleasure which nature has been beckoning us towards all along. Follow the golden-flowered beacon.

From Tallest Tree to Towering Sculpture: The Giant Hand of the UK
Content warning: Giant Hand of Vyrnwy" is a breathtaking sculpture carved from the remains of the UK’s tallest tree, a Douglas Fir. Artist Simon O’Rourke transformed the tree’s 50-foot stump into a hand reaching skyward, symbolizing the tree’s final connection to the sky
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.

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.”
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.More: Urban Art Hacks (11 Photos)

Four Seasons Tribute to Kora in Warsaw, Poland
Content warning: Discover Bruno Althamer's stunning mural tribute to Polish singer Kora (Olga Jackowska) in Warsaw, Poland. This ingenious artwork changes with the seasons, as a tree in front of the mural transforms into Kora's 'hair'—lush and green in summer, blooming in
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.

Muralist Djoels
Mural by Djoelsin Basque Country.
Djoels: A few months ago, I enrolled in a sort of selection round to be able to do a mural in the Basque Country. Out of the (more than) 400 applications, 2 artists were chosen: one artist from Gran Canaria and Djoels. We were given a 13-meter-high by 8-meter-wide wall to work on. For 5 days, we were given a tour, information, and the opportunity to get to know the town. It’s a harbor town surrounded by mountains, slightly bigger than Egem but with a similar mentality. Everyone knows everyone, and stories spread quickly. People take care of each other, and history is kept alive.
Gabriel, my model, a retired kind man with a characterful gaze, stood out to me the most. He spent his life at sea, months away from home catching fish. I heard thrilling stories, including those of women and children who stayed on the mainland, fearing whether their father would return safely. Now he makes miniature boats. A true artist!
Every day, I ate fish, learned how to clean and prepare fresh fish. I walked in the harbor and then in the mountains. I tasted the food they made on the boats when they were away from home for months, sometimes with only 3 ingredients. And yet, it was delicious!
For two weeks, I lived like most people here, adopting a sort of integrated intermittent fasting, taking siestas, and enjoying pintxos (local tapas). I quickly adapted to the lifestyle here, but I still miss my home, my dog, and my loved one immensely!
I think after reading this, the work speaks for itself. Now, I just need to enjoy Bilbao a little longer, and then I’ll head back home on Saturday, towards my steak with fries and the West Flemish language.

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.

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.

17 Times Nikita Nomerz Brought Walls to Life
Content warning: Street Art by Street Artist Nikita Nomerz from Nizhny Novgorod, Russia.
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.
1.
The Laughing Tower
A ruined water tower, with hollow circular openings for eyes, is painted with an exaggerated wide-open mouth, making it appear joyfully unhinged. The playfulness contrasts with the building’s decayed state, turning the site into a living character.
2.
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. Placed in front of an industrial backdrop, the contrast between the decayed setting and the humorous expressions adds to the surreal nature of the piece.
3.
The Crumbling Smile
A cracked yellow wall is transformed into a grinning face, with the deteriorating bricks and stones serving as jagged teeth. The artwork highlights the natural decay of the structure, giving it a distinct personality that blends seamlessly with its surroundings.
4.
The Watchtower Elder
A tall, cylindrical water tower is transformed into the face of an old man with a long white beard, blending seamlessly with the building’s structure. The expressive eyes and textured details make the tower feel like a wise figure standing guard over the landscape.
5.
Eyes in the Snow
Two massive, painted eyes on wooden barrels emerge from the snow, staring out at the city street. The winter setting enhances the eerie effect, making it seem as if the city itself is watching.
6.
The Screaming Tank
A rusting industrial tank is turned into a face with an exaggerated open mouth, creating the illusion of a loud scream. The work plays with the shape of the tank to enhance its emotional impact, appearing almost alive amid the urban surroundings.
7.
The Wall with Glowing Eyes
A brick wall is transformed into a solemn face, with two glowing windows as eyes piercing through the darkness. This nighttime shot captures the haunting atmosphere, where the artwork interacts with the artificial light, making it feel almost supernatural.
8.
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.
9.
The Watchful Tower
A tall industrial tower is painted with an elongated face wrapped in intricate patterns, creating a surreal and timeless expression. The blending of natural curves with the structure gives it an ethereal, almost guardian-like presence in the sky.
10.
The Giant Baby Face
Inside an abandoned building, Nomerz paints a massive, unsettlingly realistic baby’s face on a crumbling wall. The contrast between the youthful expression and the decay of the structure makes this piece particularly haunting.
11.
The Screaming Bunker
An old concrete bunker is turned into a monster-like face with an open mouth serving as the entrance. Jagged white stones inside resemble teeth, making it appear as if the bunker is about to swallow visitors whole.
12.
The Firm Grip
Two large industrial domes feature murals of individual hands gripping onto bars. The artwork gives the illusion that someone inside is holding onto the structure’s entrance, as if trapped or refusing to let go.
13.
The Bridge With Teeth
A stone bridge is transformed into a wide-mouthed face with painted eyes on either side. The long row of teeth under the archway makes it feel like the river flows straight through its grin.
14.
The Haunted Chapel
An old brick chapel is given a haunting face with eyes painted onto the windows and a mouth made from the building’s doorway, complete with jagged stone “teeth.” The worn-down state of the structure amplifies the eerie effect.
15.
The Blessing
A tall building is painted with a robed figure, its hands folded in a meditative pose. The structure’s unique triangular rooftop serves as a natural “hat” for the figure, seamlessly integrating architecture with the mural’s design.
16.
The Hidden Prisoner
A mural of a man peeking through a crack in a doorway is painted onto a small structure, blending seamlessly with the building’s architecture. The gripping hands and intense gaze add a sense of mystery, making it feel as if someone is trapped inside, watching the outside world.
17.
The Three Warriors
Three large domed buildings are transformed into the faces of bearded men wearing medieval-style helmets. The dark brick and metallic dome tops create the illusion of battle-worn warriors.
Portrait of street artist Nikita Nomerz
Nikita Nomerz stand in front of one of his signature murals—a massive, grinning face painted onto an old industrial tank. Wearing a protective suit and mask, he stands behind a chain-link fence, reinforcing the themes of decay, confinement, and transformation often found in his work.

By Yip Yew Chong at the wet market on 30 Temple Street in Chinatown, Singapore.
Yip Yew Chong: “While visitors are having fun posing for photos, I also hope they will get up close to the mural to study the details. This mural at 30 Temple Street is now probably the most intricate outdoor mural in Singapore! I tried making the details authentic, balanced with aestheticism and fair representation of the 1970s-80s Chinatown Street Market.
Many visitors who saw me paint it realized I didn’t plan every detail in advance. I had a broad idea in my mind, and then along the way, I googled images of say, different veggies, fish etc and decided on the spot which to add onto the trays. As for the stall selling monitor lizards, frogs, turtles and pythons, I intentionally put it the background and painted in a blurry, indicative manner.
I was afraid some visitors may feel scared by the sight. During the painting, I polled a few visitors, especially children. They all said the scene is not scary, and they can tell they are snakes and lizards, phew! While adding the blood, someone commented, “it’s enough”! I really enjoyed the painting process of having visitors on the spot contribute to the creation of the mural!”

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.

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
