David Zinn: “One nice thing about being drawn in a schoolyard is that you always make some friends”
David Zinn’s art is not only visually striking, but it also brings playfulness to the streets.
One of the unique aspects of his art is the way he works with communities to create art that is meaningful and relevant to the area. David Zinn’s art is not only a visual treat, but also a mental one.

“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.

By Seth Globepainter in Paris, France.We like this comment by SummerBoss: Ukrainians are fighting for their country, for their homes and for their families. What are Russian soldiers fighting and dying for? For an old man’s dream of a reborn empire of the USSR? This is not Russia’s war. This is not Belarus’s war. It is Putin’s war, and Putin’s alone.
