This selection moves between large-scale murals, playful characters, and quiet interventions that change how a place feels. A towering pigeon wraps an apartment block, a Smurf tends a fragile plant inside a painted shed, and a giant child crouches forward offering a rose.
You’ll also find a dog resting across a wall in Italy, a girl reading beside her painted twin in Laos, cartoon figures reclaiming a neglected bus stop in Brazil, a floral mural climbing a concrete tower in Switzerland, and a small street detail turned into a familiar character.
