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!

The Drunken Ship: “This 400 m2 fresco which covers the three facades of the building is not strictly speaking a mural comic. It is the realization of a man’s dream. 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.
