2 Photos of “Morphos” by Filite in Taboão da Serra, Brazil
Street Artist Filite
“Morphos” by Filite in Taboão da Serra, Brazil, for Graffiti Contra Enchente.Dive into the vibrant streets of Taboão da Serra, Brazil, where “Morphos” by Filite comes alive. This piece captures the essence of metamorphosis, blending human features with nature’s beauty. As a passerby strolls, seemingly unaware, one can’t help but feel the poignant contrast of bustling daily life against art’s eternal stillness. In this lively urban canvas, Filite prompts us to pause and marvel, even if just for a fleeting moment. Street art, after all, bridges worlds, doesn’t it?
Filite (translation): Transforming through paint what I believe to be the human challenge. I don’t know about you, but day by day I realize just how fragile my convictions are. How insignificant my control over anything that doesn’t pertain to my own choices is. Painting fragmented portraits in butterflies is like freezing a moment, an action that’s impossible in real life… everything lives and vibrates in constant motion. But here, time has stopped 🙏 stopped for me and for anyone who dedicates a minute of life to connect with it.

Bitter is a lost taste, even though bitterness is delicious and cures
Mural by Mona Caron for Exomusée , Le Locle, Switzerland. Drone shots by Mauro Neri.Mona Caron: Gentiana Lutea – studding the landscape here in the highs of the Jura mountains, standing tall in the rolling meadows like little flagpoles marking the spots where you can dig for its magic and prized bitter root, a key ingredient of many vermouths, liqueurs, firewaters, syrups and tinctures, here in the homeland of Absinthe.
Bitter is a lost taste, even though bitterness is delicious and cures. Addiction to the sweet has narrowed the spectrum of pleasures that palates can enjoy, keeping many from healthy habits.
So I offer this bitter-rooted wildflower, a field weed as metaphor of resilience through the strength we gain by daring something feared, perhaps uncomfortably new but actually ancient, unearthing both medicine and pleasure which nature has been beckoning us towards all along. Follow the golden-flowered beacon.

The girl, with her innocent and curious gaze, represents the purity and simplicity of childhood, and the importance of protecting and caring for the future of children and the planet.

“Garden Swallow” in Ronda, Andalucia. Spain.
Fabián Bravo Guerrero about the mural: The “Garden Swallow” mural is a beautiful work of art that conveys a very profound message about the connection between nature and humans. In the mural, a child surrounded by pots of flowers holds a swallow in his hand, and both look at each other with deep tenderness.
The image of the mural represents the harmony that exists between human beings and nature, in this case, between the child and the swallow. The presence of the swallow in the child’s garden also conveys a message about the importance of these animals in controlling mosquito and other insect pests, and the need to protect their nests and habitat.
In addition, the mural also reflects the symbolism that swallows have in popular culture, especially in Andalusian patios, where they are considered a symbol of eternal love and respect for the couple. The image of the child with the swallow transmits a message of love and respect towards nature and the living beings that inhabit it.
“Raices” in Algeciras, Spain for Asociación RecreArte.
Fabián Bravo Guerrero about the mural: In this beautiful mural titled ‘Raíces’, the eternal legacy of Andalusian flamenco that transcends generations is represented. In the center of the composition, a girl with a deep look and full of passion, hugs her guitar with devotion and dedication. Her fingers, Like dancing petals, they caress the strings, releasing melodies impregnated with sentiment and ancestral experience.
Around her, exquisitely displayed pink flowers intertwine with the air, symbolizing the beauty and delicacy of flamenco. These flowers, as symbols of the Andalusian land, are a tribute to the flamenco artists born in Algeciras, who, with their talent and passion, have left an indelible mark on the art world.
The ‘Raíces’ mural captures the very essence of flamenco, that magical connection that is transmitted from generation to generation, like an ancestral whisper that resonates in every chord and every beat. It is a tribute to the strength and power of music, capable of moving us and transporting us to deep places of the soul, reminding us of our roots and our cultural identity.
May this work endure over time as a living symbol of the greatness and passion of Andalusian flamenco, and as a tribute to those artists who have left an indelible legacy in Algeciras and in the world of flamenco art.
“Swallows” in Casablanca, Morocco for Casamouja.
Fabián Bravo Guerrero about the mural: Swallows represent respect, love and fidelity, they are migratory birds, which usually migrate to Africa, that’s why I chose to paint them here in Casablanca, the almond flowers, makes the swallows stand out more.
I decided to paint the background with Arab tiles, and turquoise, white and reddish color’s, in tribute to the “Hassan II Mosque” (the second largest in the world) that was near the mural.
“Fragile Balance” in Estepona, Spain.
Fabián Bravo Guerrero about the mural: According to data from the Specialized System for Reporting Cases of School Violence (Siseve) from the Ministry of Education, a total of 20,604 bullying reports were recorded nationwide between 2023 and the first quarter of 2024 alone.
This is what the mural is about.
In it, we see a teenage girl climbing a staircase toward the moon, which shines brightly and illuminates the entire scene.
The moon represents everything the girl has dreamed of.
She wants to reach it—like we all do—but she’s carrying a heavy backpack: filled with insults, rejection, fear, loneliness…
And how will her story end?
On one hand, the girl might reach her goals thanks to the help she receives after her bullying case becomes known.
On the other hand, she might not make it. The weight of her backpack is so heavy that it throws off her balance, and she can’t reach her destination.
With this, I aim to reflect the internal struggle faced by those experiencing bullying, highlighting the importance of offering support—before the weight becomes too much to bear.

In Glasgow, Scotland.
I’ve always been drawn to SMUG’s art—there’s just something amazing about how he brings everyday faces to life on such a massive scale.
Known worldwide for his super-realistic portraits, SMUG’s murals are incredibly detailed and often tower up to 14 stories high! His work isn’t just impressive; it’s a mix of creativity and skill, with each piece telling its own story through light, shadow, and careful detail.
When SMUG starts a mural, he’s not just copying a photo; he’s adapting to the wall in front of him. Every wall, with its own texture and quirks, becomes part of the artwork. Seeing him turn these challenges into part of the art is what makes his work so incredible.

About SMUG from Vantage Point Radio (click link to here a podcast with SMUG):
SMUG is, and has been for many years, one of the leaders in the clubhouse when it comes to realistic portrait murals. His output is beyond impressive and the number of murals he paints in a year is almost unbelievable, but to him… “it’s just what I do.” His massive portraits can span anywhere from one story to 14 stories high but the detail and crispness of the image is the same every time. Over decades of painting walls, SMUG has developed a distinctive and immediately recognizable style which is not always easy for someone who paints realistically. His selection of slightly unconventional models and more importantly his very specific use of light and shadow are undeniably SMUG and exquisitely executed every time.
