This collection features ten striking street artworks from across the globe. From glowing halos in Colombia to protest murals in Scotland, you’ll find photorealistic portraits, surreal scenes, and layered symbolism. Artists include JEKS ONE, HERA, Daes Villalba, El Vandalito, and more—each contributing a bold piece to the urban canvas.

1. Iluminate
Daes Villalba’s mural in Campillos, Málaga

In terms of originality, I have to go with Glasgow. I’ve never seen an outdoor mural done in a photorealistic style. The others are excellent, but in a style I’ve seen before… except Berlin. If somebody’s desk faces that, I hope they like it more than I do.
