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.

45 Purrfect Street Art Pieces: A Tribute to Our Cats
The world of street art is a vibrant, ever-evolving canvas that reflects the thoughts, ideas, and aesthetics of diverse cultures around the globe. Among this profusion of creativity, one subject stands out and continues to inspire artists across borders and continents – the cat.
This feline-inspired street art phenomenon is far-reaching, with each corner of the world lending its own unique perspective to the representation of cats in public art. In the bustling cities of Japan, for example, where the cat is considered a symbol of good luck, you might spot murals depicting ‘Maneki-neko’ or the ‘beckoning cat’, a common Japanese talisman believed to bring fortune and prosperity.Across the Atlantic, in the urban landscapes of New York or Los Angeles, artists portray cats as emblems of the city’s spirit – independent, resourceful, and resilient. These murals often depict cats prowling rooftops or lounging lazily in the sun-drenched corners of the city, much like their human counterparts.
The styles in this collection range from super realistic to bold and colorful. Each piece tells its own story, celebrating how much people love cats. This collection is full of surprises and purr-sonality!

Street Artist Giulio Masieri
By Giulio Masieri in Pordenone, Italy.Il Friuli: “The project – explains Masieri – was born in the period of the lockdown. While we were all closed in the house, I didn’t know how to use the time and the idea was born almost for fun. I left with a cat (who keeps an eye on the condominium where he lives, ed ) and then I thought about involving the Torre association to find other walls to decorate. So we hope to be able to invade the city. I chose the dog because I really wanted this design to be for everyone. And so I opted for man’s best friend “.
