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.
