1. 1900 Street Scene — Artist in Northern Chile
A façade transformed into a turn-of-the-century street, complete with shopfronts, awnings, and distant mountains. The illusion extends the architecture into another era.
2. Patrick Commecy in Brives-Charensac, France
Au fil de Loire – Patrick Commecy and his team from A.Fresco transformed this once-blank wall into a vivid riverside scene inspired by the Loire. The mural depicts villagers washing clothes beneath an arched stone bridge, with swallows flying above and residents leaning from painted windows. It recalls the history of Brives-Charensac, where locals once gathered by the river for daily chores, and even marks the 1980 flood level of 6.8 meters — a reminder of the Loire’s power.
