11. Boat of Silence — SPURONE in Tampico, Mexico

Created for the Renace Street Art Festival 2025, this mural by SPURONE captures a quiet moment on the water. A man sits in a small boat, while a woman stands at its edge, both lost in thought. The reflections in the painted surface merge with the building’s windows, turning architecture into part of the story — stillness, distance, and memory all floating together beneath a soft light.

12. La Guinguette — Patrick Commecy in Brives-Charensac, France

Patrick Commecy’s La Guinguette transforms a narrow building façade into a charming café scene. The painted storefront glows in blue and gold, with a man reading a newspaper at a checkered table, a bartender behind the counter, and a woman leaning from a balcony above. Every detail — from bottles and signs to the flowered window boxes — deepens the illusion of a lively local moment frozen in paint.

Patrick Commecy: The era of Saturday night dances, fried food accompanied by the local “Verveine Authentique,” and a nod to Joseph Servant, founder of the Twinning Committee in 1987.

“The Wave Is Coming” by Shozy in Balashikha, Russia

Street Artist Shozy

“The Wave Is Coming” by Shozy for International Mural Festival. You can find the facade at Zheleznodorozhny, Novaya, 7 in Balashikha, Russia.

Shozy (direct translation): This is a 14-story panel house with an illusory end. Distorting and bubbling windows create dissonance with the usual geometry of panels. Some floors glitch apart, adding a digital spice, the seams between the panels bend, creating the base of an illusory form, and the composition is completed by a slit in the sky that devastates the house. Like other works in this series, this façade invites the viewer to look at familiar things from a new point of view, look for aesthetics among painfully familiar elements of the Russian urban landscape and simply be surprised, deceived, but still satisfied.

More from the serie: It’s all about perspective
