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.

Sasha Korban: ‘’სიყვარულით” which translates to “with love” in Georgian. In Georgia, this mural is referred to as “ბებოს” meaning “grandma”. However, this mural represents the very essence of love. The love that saturates our everyday lives, manifesting through the small acts of kindness from our loved ones or even their mere presence. Unfortunately, we often take this love for granted, assuming it to be the natural order of things, and we sometimes overlook the beauty of life’s simpler moments.
By Sasha Korban in Tbilisi, Georgia.
In addition to his incredible talent as a muralist, Korban is also a socially conscious artist, often using his work to raise awareness about pressing issues such as the ongoing war in Ukraine.
His art is a reminder of the resilience of the human spirit and our collective ability to overcome adversity.As a leading figure in the contemporary street art scene, Sasha Korban continues to inspire and captivate audiences with his evocative and thought-provoking creations. His work is a testament to the power of art to communicate, heal, and bring people together, making the world a more vibrant and connected place.
Sasha Korban: Created this mural a few days ago in Kyiv, and at that time nearby were battles for the liberation of Bucha and Irpin took place
Sasha Korban: “The day will come, when the war is over… To the ones who will see their beloved ones again and the ones who will not.”

Break the Circle
Sasha Korban: The best safeguard against domestic violence is the confidence of women in their unconditional value and dignity. And now in Mykolaiv, Ukraine you can see my new mural “Embrace yourself”, that reminds: every woman deserves happiness.The image of a girl gently hugging her shoulders refers to a psychological method used in therapy for women who have experienced domestic violence. This simple action helps you to feel safe and regain contact with your body.
The mural has created with support of UNFPA Ukraine as a part of an information campaign “Break the Circle” in collaboration with Sky Art Foundation. Its creation is timed to the worldwide campaign “16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence”. Embrace yourself and your loved ones. And remember, that you deserve to be respected and to be happy simply because you exist.

True Hope
Sasha Korban: It is the fourth year of war in my country. There are thousands of broken hearts and lost beloved ones, ruined families, injured bodies and souls. Milana is a six-year-old girl who faced the war three years ago. But she was stronger than any war. Her little and yet brave heart conquered everything. I have dedicated my piece to Milana as I do believe she is a real symbol of the true hope.

Sasha Korban: The curator of the festival Besik M while he was inviting me, said, “We have a special wall for you, opposite the Russian embassy’s building.” (correctly speaking, it was the Russian Federation Interests Section at the Embassy of Switzerland in Tbilisi).
Yes, yes, and I made a mural there. I portrayed a Ukrainian woman in a traditional embroidered shirt holding a huge bouquet of wildflowers with ears of wheat. She is proud and full of light. She looks straight ahead, with a barely noticeable smile, to all the obstacles and fears in the eyes.
It symbolizes our strength, inner energy, freedom and will. Despite the terrible and cruel war, we, as a nation, will endure, become even stronger, and we will live! There were several situations when people from the opposite building tried to stop me from working on the mural just because the Ukrainian was drawing there

Sasha Korban: Ukraine. WAR. The 40th day. I’m speechless. So many people died. So many innocent kids been killed. So many souls been crippled. Thanks to the incredible efforts of our soldiers, army, volunteers and all the Ukrainians who have united, we are holding back the enemy so that he cannot tear apart our homeland 🇺🇦

I’ve never asked you before, but now we really need your help. I’m raising money to provide the most necessary (food, clothing, medicine) for people who were injured or were forced to leave their homeless during the war in Ukraine. NEED HELP🙏

Sasha Korban: ‘’სიყვარულით” which translates to “with love” in Georgian. In Georgia, this mural is referred to as “ბებოს” meaning “grandma”. However, this mural represents the very essence of love. The love that saturates our everyday lives, manifesting through the small acts of kindness from our loved ones or even their mere presence. Unfortunately, we often take this love for granted, assuming it to be the natural order of things, and we sometimes overlook the beauty of life’s simpler moments.
In addition to his incredible talent as a muralist, Korban is also a socially conscious artist, often using his work to raise awareness about pressing issues such as the ongoing war in Ukraine.
His art is a reminder of the resilience of the human spirit and our collective ability to overcome adversity.As a leading figure in the contemporary street art scene, Sasha Korban continues to inspire and captivate audiences with his evocative and thought-provoking creations. His work is a testament to the power of art to communicate, heal, and bring people together, making the world a more vibrant and connected place.
Sasha Korban: “The day will come, when the war is over… To the ones who will see their beloved ones again and the ones who will not.”

Break the Circle
Sasha Korban: The best safeguard against domestic violence is the confidence of women in their unconditional value and dignity. And now in Mykolaiv, Ukraine you can see my new mural “Embrace yourself”, that reminds: every woman deserves happiness.The image of a girl gently hugging her shoulders refers to a psychological method used in therapy for women who have experienced domestic violence. This simple action helps you to feel safe and regain contact with your body.
The mural has created with support of UNFPA Ukraine as a part of an information campaign “Break the Circle” in collaboration with Sky Art Foundation. Its creation is timed to the worldwide campaign “16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence”. Embrace yourself and your loved ones. And remember, that you deserve to be respected and to be happy simply because you exist.
Finding a good balance in life
Sasha Korban: This mural supports the idea of finding a good balance in life. The young fragile girl reflects the human’s internal harmony together with the joy of existence. A bunch of chairs is a metaphor for the world’s chaos and the diversity of different moments we all go through – positive, tragic, happy and sad. They make us balance and find the harmony. The project is organized by International Human Rights Organization Truth Hounds
Tbilisi, Georgia.
True Hope
Sasha Korban: It is the fourth year of war in my country. There are thousands of broken hearts and lost beloved ones, ruined families, injured bodies and souls. Milana is a six-year-old girl who faced the war three years ago. But she was stronger than any war. Her little and yet brave heart conquered everything. I have dedicated my piece to Milana as I do believe she is a real symbol of the true hope.
Sasha Korban: The curator of the festival Besik M while he was inviting me, said, “We have a special wall for you, opposite the Russian embassy’s building.” (correctly speaking, it was the Russian Federation Interests Section at the Embassy of Switzerland in Tbilisi).
Yes, yes, and I made a mural there. I portrayed a Ukrainian woman in a traditional embroidered shirt holding a huge bouquet of wildflowers with ears of wheat. She is proud and full of light. She looks straight ahead, with a barely noticeable smile, to all the obstacles and fears in the eyes.
It symbolizes our strength, inner energy, freedom and will. Despite the terrible and cruel war, we, as a nation, will endure, become even stronger, and we will live! There were several situations when people from the opposite building tried to stop me from working on the mural just because the Ukrainian was drawing there
Harmony and Balance
[b]Sasha Korban: [/b]With this symbolic artwork I have been trying to show an importance of the harmony and balance in everything, and most importantly to find it inside oneself.
