1. A Glimpse of Humanity — SMOK in Ronse, Belgium
A mural of two chimpanzees, one adult and one young, painted with lifelike detail and surrounded by abstract colorful strokes. The work highlights expressive faces and close interaction between the figures.
SMOK: In the midst of these dark times, my mural reflects the enduring power of love and humanity. The sorrow in the eyes of the mother chimpanzee mirrors the pain and turmoil that surrounds us, while her joyful child embodies the innocence and hope that can be found even in the bleakest of circumstances. This artwork serves as a reminder that love and resilience are the cornerstones of our humanity, lighting the way through the darkest of days. Spread kindness like confetti. I believe those small acts of warmth can change the world!

Guy François, owner of the Chien Vert stores and madly in love with the sea, decides to fit out a building he has just bought next to his stores. His passion for the sea had already decided for him: the decoration of the facade would consist of a magnificent fresco representing the image of a sailboat. “.

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.

Annatomix: So pleased to have finished these foxes for #stmodwenhomes in #longbridge. They’re sitting on a future nature / art trail that’s not open yet, but I will update you all when it is. These lads are all around 15ft tall and painted on some of the wettest brickwork I’ve ever had the pleasure of tackling. And that’s why this job took weeks.

What are your inspirations or what inspires you?
Annatomix: I get inspiration for my work from a huge variety of places, but my main focus is around the relationship between humanity and nature – such as how humanity tries to force nature to do what it wants, and how futile that is.
I read a lot and I particularly enjoy philosophy, theology and mythology – the more ancient, the better – and this also has a big influence on what I create.
