Cat – Mural by Dan Leo at Waterford Walls in Waterford, Ireland
Born in London in 84 I moved to Ireland at a young age. Always having had an interest in art, my enthusiasm grew from the consumption of 90s cartoons and having a keen interest in American sports logos and graphic design.
My style has evolved over the years as I believe it should. It’s important to keep moving forward and explore new approaches as well as improve on existing ones. Animals have always been something I have had respect for and as you can see feature almost exclusively in my work. Nature is a never ending source of inspiration.
Painting has given me the opportunity to travel and meet many like minds and I’m grateful to be able to do what I love.

HERA, a German street artist, has made a name for herself with murals that blend fine art and graffiti.
After stepping away from HERAKUT, she now works independently, creating large-scale art that often features humans and animals in dreamlike, emotional scenes. HERA’s style mixes detailed brushwork with the raw energy of street art, inviting viewers to connect with the deep stories her work tells. She continues to inspire with her unique, heartfelt murals found in cities around the world.
HERA about Wild Child: Choosing a stray cat as the hero of a piece of public art is my way of attempting a balance between the existing monuments of some pompous monarchs or war generals and the real inhabitants of a place. I want the little ones, the real ones, the actual souls of the streets to be recognized. I want to pay homage to the ones who surely have fought through their fair share of struggles, and have their scars to prove it, but chose to for the most days just quietly exists, mind their business and remind us to enjoy even the uneventful days.
By HERA in Vincennes, France for Le Point Millepages.
Translation of the murals text: The children asked the fox how to escape from everyday life. He answers “it’s easy, all you need is to open a book”
By HERA in Karlstad, Sweden for Karlstad Street Art curated by Huderrederre.
HERA: Because I work when I freestyle i came to the wall without a sketch and spend my time listening to what locals said about Karlstad. Every detail of this artwork was inspired by some info I came across at the spot, but also its overall theme about hospitality.
The words on the upper left side read “Sola i Karlstad” which was the nickname of one particularly friendly tavern waitress and innkeeper in the city back in the 18th century; Eva Lisa Holtz. I think it’s absolutely amazing that the city even has a statue for her. How many cities in the world can say that they consider a sunny disposition and kindness as monument-worthy traits? I just love that!
So, that and the fact that being a good host is a ton of effort, I felt like I should dedicate this mural art to everyone who uses their time on earth to nurture others. And to unite others, no matter how far apart they usually sit.
