Side-by-side murals of two women merged with nature. On the left, a mural by Juz in Melbourne, Australia, features a woman lying peacefully in a floral-patterned outfit across a long brick wall, with her body blending into a field of yellow flowers under a cloudy sky. On the right, a hyperrealistic mural titled Inner Bloom by JEKS ONE at Holland Brooks in Lexington, North Carolina, shows a close-up of a woman’s face with closed eyes and parted lips, partially wrapped in twisting vines and surrounded by large pink and yellow flowers, painted on a tall brick building.

From vibrant resistance in Spain to photorealistic flora in North Carolina, this edition of New Street Art brings together nine fresh murals from around the globe. Each piece offers a glimpse into different corners of public creativity—from deeply emotional portraits and floral dreamscapes to futuristic robots and cultural tributes. Featured artists span continents, with works found in Spain, Australia, Brazil, France, Peru, the U.S., and more.
