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.

You Might Walk Past These—But They’re Tiny Masterpieces in Disguise
Content warning: Which one is your favorite?
In Milan, Golsa Golchini is reshaping how we see the cracks, rust, and decay of city walls. Her miniature street art scenes don’t cover damage—they embrace it.
A girl swings from rain streaks. A turtle borrows a tank as its shell. A young musician draws music from crumbling plaster. Each piece is site-specific, small in scale but rich in detail, and carefully crafted to interact with its exact surroundings. In this collection, we feature ten of Golchini’s latest public artworks across Milan—where the city’s imperfections become the very foundation of her storytelling.
🔗 Follow Golsa Golchini on Instagram
Laundry Day
A woman leans from a real window, painted to appear as if she’s reading the fractured wall like a book. The peeling plaster becomes a cascading page.
The Hidden Melody
Golsa Golchini cleverly integrates minimalist art, depicting a young girl realistically painted emerging from peeling plaster. The girl is holding a bow as if playing Double Bass on the crumbling wall itself, transforming urban decay into a subtle and poetic performance.
Flashlight Beam
A boy holds a large flashlight aimed upward. The beam isn’t painted—it’s a real streak of sunlight on the wall, timed perfectly with the art.
Elephant Friend
A little girl in a striped dress reaches out to gently touch the head of an elephant, its form emerging naturally from the cracked wall. Golsa Golchini uses the contours of the damaged surface to suggest the animal’s shape, turning urban decay into an unexpected moment of connection between child and creature.
Turtle Shell
A green turtle peeks out from behind a public plastic container. The container’s shape mimics its shell in a surreal visual twist.
Boy with Dog
A child walks a dog on a leash. The dog is made from a rust stain and a hole in the wall, blending seamlessly with the texture.
Snail at the Curb
A snail painted near the sidewalk seems to crawl slowly through a pile of real dried leaves. The edge of the street becomes part of its journey.
Rain Swing
A girl swings from two long streaks of water damage on a concrete wall. The stains form ropes, and her painted legs kick out into open space.
Cracked Pikachu
A joyful cartoon face bursts through a chipped section of wall, clearly inspired by Pikachu from Pokémon. The playful eyes and wide pink mouth are painted around the cracks, making it feel like the character is peeking through the surface itself.
Giraffe Peek
A giraffe peeks through an opening in dense ivy, as if hiding behind the greenery. The painted surface perfectly matches the hole.
Golsa Golchini’s art doesn’t just live on the walls of Milan—it lives with them. Every crack becomes a canvas, every rust patch a character. These ten interventions remind us that beauty can emerge from erosion, and that even a broken surface can tell a complete story. In Golchini’s hands, the city itself collaborates—every wall is part of the work.

Mandi Caskey: Tribute to the enduring fight for women’s rights across generations. This mural captures an intimate moment of exchange. A suffragette passing a living flame into the hands of a modern woman. The fire represents knowledge, resilience, and the ongoing struggle for justice and equity. The suffragette’s steady presence honors the women of Seneca Falls who fought to secure the right to vote, while the younger woman receives the flame with reverence and determination, carrying that light forward into a more inclusive future. Both figures rise from the water, a symbol of rebirth and the roots of Seneca Falls, where the first Women’s Rights Convention reshaped history. Her sash belongs to the past. Her buttons belong to the present. And the moths gather in remembrance, for everyone, who gave their life to the cause. Let’s keep the light burning for all.
