Split image showing Jon Foreman's Linear land art made from rows of colored stones at Lindsway Bay, Wales, beside Naomi Haverland's fish mural with flowers, chains, and a key in Kissimmee, Florida.

Classical gods, robot twins, dog kings, stone lines, spray-can energy, and strange walls.

This new street art round moves from Athens and Barcelona to Bogotá, Curitiba, Paris, Kissimmee, Toulouse, Cape Town, and the Welsh coast. Expect mythological murals, graffiti burners, fantasy animals, food jokes, quiet portraits, and temporary land art built from stones.

Athena street art mural by PichiAvo in Athens, Greece, showing a monumental blue classical goddess profile with a helmet, red graffiti layers, and the phrase From Valencia to Athens on a tall city wall.

🏛️ “An Offering to Athens” — By PichiAvo in Athens, Greece 🇬🇷

PichiAvo bring their classical-graffiti mix to Athens with “An Offering to Athens”, their first large-scale mural in Greece, at Pallados 28. The work centers Athena Lefkos in cool blues and bronze details, while red tags and marks behind her keep the ancient figure tied to the street.

💡 Nerd Fact: The word “offering” has real Athenian weight: the Parthenon frieze is commonly read as the Greater Panathenaia procession, the city’s major festival for Athena, and the Acropolis Museum describes its central ritual as the offering of a woven peplos to the goddess.

Wide street art mural by Dery Aerosolista, Marc Eslic and Kamikaze R17 in Barcelona, Spain, showing ornate graffiti lettering, red city blocks, and a detailed portrait of a man in sunglasses and a bandana.

🔥 Barcelona Wall Power — By Dery Aerosolista, Marc Eslic & Kamikaze R17 in Barcelona, Spain 🇪🇸

This crew wall has a lot going on: ornate lettering, deep reds and blacks, city silhouettes, and a central portrait in sunglasses and a bandana. The graffiti and portrait work sit side by side without either one getting softened.

Tall street art mural by ELMAC in Paris, France for Boulevard Paris 13, showing a large side-profile face built from layered grey and turquoise contour lines on the side of an apartment building.

💙 Contour Portrait — By ELMAC in Paris, France 🇫🇷

ELMAC paints a large side-profile face for Boulevard Paris 13. Soft grey and turquoise lines wrap around the head like contour lines on a map. From the street it reads as one calm face; up close, it is all layers.

💡 Nerd Fact: Boulevard Paris 13 is not just a hashtag for big walls. Paris’s official tourism office describes it as a joint initiative between Galerie Itinerrance and the 13th arrondissement town hall that has turned the district into an open-air gallery with more than fifty urban works since 2009.

Surreal street art mural by Antista K in Toulouse, France at Miroir Miroir Toulouse, showing a mysterious figure with a spider-like headpiece, green dripping background, painted eyes on the hands, and web details.

🕷️ The Spider Whisperer — By Antista K in Toulouse, France 🇫🇷

Antista K keeps it strange inside Miroir Miroir, the temporary immersive cultural venue at 90 Boulevard Silvio Trentin. The figure has a spiky spider crown, eyes painted on the hands, web details, and green drips running down the wall. Beautiful, eerie, and very much awake.

💡 Nerd Fact: Miroir Miroir has a built-in end date: the venue describes itself as an ephemeral cultural place in Toulouse, open only until July 2026, which makes these walls closer to a living exhibition than a permanent gallery. Source: Miroir Miroir Toulouse

Street art mural by Katie Barron in Launceston, Australia for Thoroughfare and City of Launceston, showing a giant tattooed hand holding a bitten orange ice pop on a tall cylindrical building column.

🍊 Giant Ice Pop — By Katie Barron in Launceston, Australia 🇦🇺

Katie Barron goes big with a small snack in Launceston’s CBD, where the City of Launceston’s Thoroughfare street-culture event brought new murals to laneways including Centreway Arcade. A tattooed hand holds a bitten orange ice pop on a cylindrical column, turning a small treat into a building-scale visual joke. Sweet, odd, and hard to miss.

💡 Nerd Fact: Thoroughfare was built as a whole-city street-culture day, not just a mural drop. The City of Launceston says it mixed art, skateboarding, music, and food to bring laneways alive, and later estimated that about 10,000 people came into the CBD during the event.

Street art mural by Korea Graffiti in Belo Horizonte, Brazil for UAI GRAFFITI, showing a smiling child reaching forward with a slingshot and red heart beside the phrase Vamos compartilhar amor.

❤️ “Vamos Compartilhar Amor!” — By Korea Graffiti in Belo Horizonte, Brazil 🇧🇷

Here, the slingshot is aimed at a red heart, not trouble. In Korea Graffiti’s own post about the Belo Horizonte wall, the artist describes the work as an invitation to spread positivity, respect, faith, and care for one another. The message beside the smiling child says it directly: “Vamos compartilhar amor” — let’s share love.

💡 Nerd Fact: “Uai” is so tied to Minas Gerais that it has even slipped into scientific naming: FishBase notes uaiso comes from “uai sô,” a common Minas Gerais interjection of surprise, awe, or confirmation. Source: FishBase

Colorful street art mural by Fnd Graffiti Art in Curitiba, Brazil for Festival Street of Styles 2026, showing a pink female portrait, a hummingbird, bright graffiti details, and the phrase Quem ama não agride.

💗 “Quem Ama Não Agride” — By Fnd Graffiti Art in Curitiba, Brazil 🇧🇷

The words are direct: “Quem ama não agride” — love does not harm. Painted for the 10th Festival Street of Styles – Encontro Internacional de Graffiti in Curitiba, Fnd Graffiti Art sets them beside a pink portrait, a hummingbird, and sharp graffiti marks. The wall stays soft without losing its edge.

💡 Nerd Fact: In Brazil, that message also lands inside a legal history: the 2006 Maria da Penha Law created mechanisms to prevent and restrain domestic and family violence against women. Source: UN Women

Graffiti mural by Yeca92 in Curitiba, Brazil for Festival Street of Styles 2026, showing a masked graffiti writer in a red cap holding a spray can with intense red and purple lighting.

🔴 Spray Mode — By Yeca92 in Curitiba, Brazil 🇧🇷

Yeca92 paints a graffiti writer in the second before the spray hits. In the artist’s Street of Styles 2026 post, the work is placed in Curitiba’s festival week; the red cap, mask, spray can, hand sign, flags, and hot red-purple light give the piece a packed, high-pressure feel.

💡 Nerd Fact: Street of Styles has grown into a huge international graffiti meeting: the festival’s own history says its 2024 edition gathered 400 artists from 50 countries and turned 2,300 meters of panels into an itinerant gallery. Source: Festival Street of Styles

Street art mural by Dias-Uht and Alex Shot106 in Naples, Italy, showing a black-and-white girl wearing a white beanie and bright blue sunglasses while reaching a fist toward the viewer on a turquoise wall.

🕶️ Blue-Lens Stare — By Dias-Uht & Alex Shot106 in Naples, Italy 🇮🇹

A cool-toned character piece with plenty of attitude. The bright blue glasses do the heavy lifting, while the fist reaches straight out from the turquoise wall. Part comic panel, part street portrait.

Dog graffiti mural by El BOBBY Gr4ff in Savona, Italy, showing a grinning dog face with huge ears, a shiny black nose, sharp teeth, a yellow crown, pink splashes, and white graffiti letters behind it.

👑 The Dog King — By El BOBBY Gr4ff in Savona, Italy 🇮🇹

This dog owns the wall. The giant nose, sharp teeth, wide eyes, and yellow crown make it look like a royal portrait that escaped into a graffiti tunnel. Funny, strange, and painted right down to the whiskers.

Front view of Naomi Haverland's fish mural in Kissimmee, Florida, showing an orange and green fish with a wooden planter body, pink flowers, hanging chains, and a golden key on a lime green building wall.

🐟 The Key Fish — By Naomi Haverland in Kissimmee, Florida 🇺🇸

Naomi Haverland paints a fish that looks like it is hanging from the wall. The mural was unveiled on Earth Day as part of Osceola Arts’ ARTisNOW project at Mosaic at Lake Toho, 110 Lakeview Drive, and local coverage describes the piece as a floating fish in a wooden barrel form, suspended by chains, with water lilies, cattails, and a golden key. It is part creature, part planter, part keychain object.

💡 Nerd Fact: The lake in the address matters: Kissimmee’s own city history traces the city back to a small trading post on the northern bank of Lake Tohopekaliga before it became Kissimmee. Source: City of Kissimmee

Golden portrait street art mural by Moxaico and NEM1977 in Huércal de Almería, Spain, showing a woman's face with flowing yellow hair, calligraphic ornamental lettering, and sunflower-like details on a black wall.

🌻 Golden Flow — By Moxaico & NEM1977 in Huércal de Almería, Spain 🇪🇸

The gold portrait sits inside a dense field of calligraphic swirls, letters, curls, and floral shapes. The mix fits Moxaico’s own description of his mural work, where realistic portraiture, nature, tags, typography, and geometric forms often meet. Against the black wall, the lines look sharp and bright without getting too tidy.

💡 Nerd Fact: A useful term here is calligraffiti, a hybrid of calligraphy and graffiti where letters become image as much as text. Source: Calligraffiti

Vibrant street art mural by Jacobo Palos Wey in La Palma del Condado, Spain, showing a woman with flowing red-orange hair beside a fox-like animal and a colorful bird on a long wall.

🦊 “Hipócritas de campo” — By Jacobo Palos Wey in La Palma del Condado, Spain 🇪🇸

For the Liga Nacional de Graffiti entry “Hipócritas de campo”, a woman’s profile, a fox-like creature, and a colorful bird run across the wall in the same flowing shapes. Warm reds and cool blues push against each other, and there is a lot to find once you look longer.

💡 Nerd Fact: The Liga Nacional de Graffiti is structured like a competition, with participant lists, results, rounds, galleries, and city events across Spain — a reminder that some legal mural circuits now borrow the rhythm of sport as much as the street. Source: Liga Nacional de Graffiti

Fantasy mural by Majestic WKA showing a giant glowing lantern with a red heart, a tiny figure inside the glass, a blue heron, a small bird, and a girl crouching beside the light on a house wall.

🏮 The Lantern World — By Majestic WKA

The lantern is the whole scene here. There is a heart on top, a tiny glowing figure inside, a blue heron, a small bird, and a girl crouched beside the light. A lot of story, packed into one wall.

Frog samurai mural by PRANK in Toulouse, France, showing a green frog in a blue robe crouching with crossed swords in front of a snowy mountain, pink branches, water, rocks, and a red torii gate.

🐸 Frog Samurai — By PRANK in Toulouse, France 🇫🇷

PRANK paints a frog that looks ready for trouble. The artist posted it as a “grenouille / ninja / samurai” weekend painting: crouched in a blue robe with two swords crossed, backed by a snowy mountain, pink branches, a lake, and a red torii gate. Small warrior. Big attitude.

💡 Nerd Fact: In Japanese wordplay, kaeru can mean “frog” and also “to return,” which gives this tiny warrior a neat extra echo. Source: JapanDict / return meaning

Black and white street art mural by Shaday Gomez in Bogotá, Colombia, showing a dancer in a white shirt frozen in motion with multiple ghosted figures across a dark curved wall.

🌫️ Motion on Black — By Shaday Gomez in Bogotá, Colombia 🇨🇴

Shaday Gomez stacks the dancer in sharp and blurred positions across a black wall. The artist’s Bogotá post shows the finished wall; the grey layers make the movement visible, like several beats shown at once.

💡 Nerd Fact: Bogotá’s street-art reputation has a painful civic backstory: the Diego Felipe Becerra bridge memorial marks where the teenage graffiti writer was shot in 2011, and The Guardian has reported that protests after his death helped spark a new tolerance of street art in the city.

Dark fantasy street art mural by Mick Martinez in Ciudad Juárez, Mexico for MRKcrew, showing a pale horned woman with black hair beside a large purple-black raven with its beak open.

🖤 Raven Companion — By Mick Martinez in Ciudad Juárez, Mexico 🇲🇽

Mick Martinez sets a calm horned woman beside a large dark bird with its beak wide open. The artist’s post places the wall in Ciudad Juárez for MRKcrew; purple feathers, black hair, horns, and sharp background shapes give the wall a dark fantasy mood without needing much else.

Street art mural by RAZE’cki and ENZI in Szczecin, Poland, showing a snarling black dog with teeth and drool beside a red-haired woman, framed by silver graffiti letters and shrubs.

🐺 Guard Dog Stare — By RAZE’cki & ENZI in Szczecin, Poland 🇵🇱

The dog is all teeth, drool, and warning. RAZE’cki shared the wall as a collaboration with ENZI, whose calligraphic lettering frames the pair. The woman beside the dog stays calm and sharp-eyed, with autumn shrubs adding an accidental foreground.

Abstract street art mural by SCEL in Prešov, Slovakia, showing a mysterious hooded female face with purple eyes, teal shadows, orange cellular patterns, and sweeping black and white graffiti shapes.

💜 The Hidden Face — By SCEL in Prešov, Slovakia 🇸🇰

SCEL hides the face inside hard abstract shapes. In a post from Prešov, the artist shows the finished wall; the violet eyes come first, then the orange cellular patterns, teal shadows, black curves, white cuts, and neon accents start breaking the portrait apart.

Character street art mural by Viktoria Lime, showing a cartoon girl painted on a metal door with split angel and devil hair, one black horn, one glowing halo, closed eyes, and a green top.

😇😈 Half Angel, Half Trouble — By Viktoria Lime

Viktoria Lime gives the angel-versus-devil split a clean, soft look. One side has blonde hair and a halo; the other has purple-black hair and a horn. The closed eyes and small smile suggest both sides are getting along fine.

Street art mural by Pablo Astrain in Pradejón, Spain for Museo de Arte Urbano en Pradejón, showing a man in a plaid shirt and flat cap drinking from a porrón against a sunset landscape on a house wall.

🍷 La Rioja Pour — By Pablo Astrain in Pradejón, Spain 🇪🇸

Pablo Astrain paints a man drinking from a porrón on a full building wall on Calle Piscinas. Local coverage notes that Pradejón’s urban museum commissioned the work as a tribute to La Rioja’s gatherings around wine, vineyards, and chuletillas al sarmiento. The sunset bands, wide landscape, and warm colors tie the scene to La Rioja without making it busy.

💡 Nerd Fact: A porrón is not just a funny prop; the Gran Enciclopèdia Catalana defines the porró as a glass vessel for drinking wine, with a long spout that lets the liquid pour in a thin stream. Source: Gran Enciclopèdia Catalana

Feliç Sant Jordi street art by LEÓN in Barcelona, Spain, photographed by Angeles, showing a woman in a red dress kissing an armored knight who holds a rose, with a sword, birds, butterflies, and red petals on the pavement.

🌹 “Feliç Sant Jordi!” — By LEÓN in Barcelona, Spain 🇪🇸

LEÓN paints Sant Jordi as a kiss in the street at Carrer del Sots-Tinent Navarro, 20. In the artist’s own Sant Jordi post, the props are all there: red dress, silver armor, rose, sword, birds, butterflies, and red petals scattered on the pavement. The hug does most of the work.

💡 Nerd Fact: Sant Jordi’s book-and-rose tradition has an international echo: UNESCO marks April 23 as World Book and Copyright Day, and Barcelona Tourism frames the local festival as the union of the Day of the Book and the Feast of the Rose. Source: UNESCO / Barcelona Tourism

IL VOLO DI CICCA street art mural by Antonio Zappia in Sant'Agata del Bianco, Italy, showing a young woman in a brown dress holding a white lily on a village wall beside stone steps and a narrow alley.

🤍 “IL VOLO DI CICCA” — By Antonio Zappia in Sant’Agata del Bianco, Italy 🇮🇹

Antonio Zappia fits the portrait into the village corner without crowding it. The artist’s Street Art Cities entry places “IL VOLO DI CICCA” at Via Vittoria, 1 and explains that Cicca is a character from Saverio Strati’s novel La teda, with the reference photo by Irina GARSH. The woman’s steady gaze, white lily, teal background, stone steps, and narrow alley give the mural a quiet presence.

💡 Nerd Fact: Saverio Strati was not just a literary reference dropped onto a wall: Calabria’s official tourism site presents Sant’Agata del Bianco as the village of Strati, making the mural part of the town’s own literary memory. Source: Calabria Straordinaria

Site-specific street art by Falko Fantastic in Cape Town, South Africa, showing a painted face on a ruined wall with a horizontal opening across the eyes and trees visible through the gap.

🌿 Face in the Ruins — By Falko Fantastic in Cape Town, South Africa 🇿🇦

Falko Fantastic uses the broken wall as part of the face. The long opening cuts across the eyes like a blindfold, while the trees behind show through. Paint, ruin, and real landscape all line up.

💡 Nerd Fact: Falko Fantastic belongs to the first generation of South African graffiti: artist bios trace his first graffiti work to 1988, during apartheid South Africa, long before street art became a city-branding tool. Source: 16 on Lerotholi

Dark skull street art mural by TemperoDiabetico SalDoce in Portugal, showing a large cracked skull with black eye sockets painted inside an abandoned room beside a hooded person standing in a doorway.

💀 Skull in the Abandoned Room — By TemperoDiabetico SalDoce in Portugal 🇵🇹

The cracked skull glows from the dark room. The ruined ceiling, rough walls, and hooded figure in the doorway do the rest. Not the room you want to find at midnight.

💡 Nerd Fact: Skulls have a deep art-history job beyond “scary”: Tate defines memento mori as art made to remind viewers of mortality and the shortness and fragility of human life. Source: Tate

Colorful graffiti wall by SLASH97, Cruze and Mattterski, showing bright blue and green graffiti letters around a purple hooded skull warrior holding a staff with lightning, clouds, and comic-style details.

⚡ Skull Warrior Burner — By SLASH97, Cruze & Mattterski

This wall goes all in: blue-green burners, gold details, lightning, clouds, and a purple-hooded skull figure holding a staff. The crew shared it under the caption “We come in Peace”, and it reads like a comic-book villain scene with proper graffiti weight behind it.

💡 Nerd Fact: In graffiti slang, a “burner” is not just any big wall; old-school graffiti glossaries use it for a strong piece that seems to “burn” off the wall because the style and color outperform what is around it. Source: Art Crimes graffiti glossary

Temporary land art sculpture Linear by Jon Foreman at Lindsway Bay, Wales, showing rows of colored beach stones arranged in a long fan-like pattern across the sand under dramatic clouds and sea cliffs.

🌊 “Linear” — By Jon Foreman at Lindsway Bay, Wales 🏴

Jon Foreman does not need a wall. In the artist’s post for “Linear”, the temporary stone arrangement is placed at Lindsway Bay, where rows of colored stones form a sweeping line system across the sand. The cliffs, sky, and tide do the framing.

💡 Nerd Fact: Lindsway Bay makes the artwork a race against nature: Visit Pembrokeshire warns visitors to check tide times there so they do not get cut off by the incoming tide. Source: Visit Pembrokeshire

The Twins street art mural by Lara Hochreiter in Barcelona, Spain, painted on old wooden double doors with two robotic female figures, red flowers, vines, and Atomic Heart inspired details.

🌺 “The Twins” — By Lara Hochreiter in Barcelona, Spain 🇪🇸

Lara Hochreiter paints the old Barcelona doors as if they open into another world. Atomic Heart’s post places “The Twins” on Carrer de la Séquia, where the wooden panels, metal hardware, flowers, vines, and twin robotic figures all stay part of the scene instead of just sitting on top of it.

💡 Nerd Fact: The Twins are not generic robots: the official Atomic Heart character page names them Left and Right and calls them Comrade Sechenov’s personal assistants and bodyguards. Source: Atomic Heart / Mundfish
