🌉 1. “Au fil de Loire” by Patrick Commecy in Brives-Charensac, France
This is not a view of the river; it is a solid wall. Patrick Commecy painted the bridge, the water, the balconies, and the people. He transformed a blockage into a window, completely changing the feel of the square.

🎺 2. “The Guinguette” by Patrick Commecy in Brives-Charensac, France
Another illusion by Commecy in the same town. He turned a dull corner into a “Guinguette” (a traditional tavern). The musicians, the happy customers, and the depth of the room are all painted on a flat surface.
🃏 3. “L’amistat (Friendship)” by Oriol Arumí in Sant Antolí i Vilanova, Spain
Oriol Arumí captures a beautiful, honest moment between four friends playing cards. The scale of the mural turns a small, intimate game into a monument to friendship and local community life.

🌸 4. “Thirst for Nature” by Artez in Gurjaani, Georgia
Painted for the Tbilisi Mural Fest. Artez is known for his realistic style and botanical themes. Here, a woman drinks from a vase of flowers—a striking image representing our deep need to connect with nature in the city.

🗞️ 5. “Intime Readings” by Edoardo Ettorre in Mangone, Italy
Edoardo Ettorre used the physical shape of the wall to his advantage. He painted a man reading a newspaper on a “bench” that is actually just a protruding corner of the building. Smart, simple, and effective.

🛶 6. “The Boat” by SPURONE in Tampico, Mexico
The water reflection makes this piece. SPURONE painted a boat that seems to float effortlessly on the side of this apartment block. The ripples and the reeds blend the painting into the environment perfectly.

🦜 7. “Memoria Todo Color” by SEPC in San Carlos, Colombia
SEPC is a master of light. The woman’s face glows as if lit by a sunset, while the toucan adds a sharp burst of tropical color. It brings a powerful warmth and energy to the street.

🪑 8. “Just Sitting” by Tomaz Major in Tampico, Mexico
Sometimes art is just about capturing real life. Tomaz Major painted two men relaxing in plastic chairs at street level. It is life-sized, unpretentious, and fits perfectly into the rhythm of the neighborhood.
