From epic embraces to cinematic portraits, these street murals could be stills pulled straight from a film. Set across Argentina, France, Georgia, Belgium, Brazil, and more, these 9 large-scale works freeze emotions, gestures, and lighting in a way that feels like visual storytelling. Some echo classical sculpture, others modern intimacy—but all pull you into a scene.

In this collection: a soaring figure dances with the sky in Rosario, Charlie Chaplin peeks from behind a wall in Paris, a soldier embraces a woman in Tbilisi, and a woman beams joy with her favela home on her back in Brazil. There’s tension, serenity, and drama—exactly what you’d expect from the streets’ own version of cinema.
