📱 Icarus With Phone Wings — By CoolJC in Šibenik, Croatia 🇭🇷

Icarus falls beneath an orange sun as wings built from mobile phones break apart around him. Local coverage of the festival identifies the figure as Icarus and connects the image to an endless stream of selfies.

CoolJC created the stencil mural for the 2026 Šibenik Street Art Festival, organized by ZID, on the lower level of Šibenik’s city market. No formal title title has been confirmed, so the heading is descriptive.

💡 Mythology Fact: In Ovid’s Metamorphoses, Daedalus warns Icarus against both extremes: the sun could scorch his wings if he flew too high, while seawater could weigh them down if he flew too low. The famous warning about the sun was paired with another about flying too close to the sea.

⚙️ “Wish Maker” — By Leon Keer with Massina in Le Locle, Switzerland 🇨🇭

Gears, pipes and pressure gauges appear between real windows. The concrete apartment block becomes a playful machine reaching toward the clouds.

Exomusée’s official work page records Wish Maker as a 2026 mural painted with brushes and rollers across 50 square meters at Rue Albert-Piguet 8. Leon Keer’s project page credits Massina with assisting on the painting.

💡 Place Fact: Le Locle and neighboring La Chaux-de-Fonds entered the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2009 because their urban plans were organized around watchmaking. Housing, workshops and later factories were deliberately interwoven within the same street pattern.

🦅 “The Return of the Griffin” — By Farid Rueda in Saint-Brieuc, France 🇫🇷

A rainbow griffin spreads across the full height of a stone house. Layered feathers and curling claws make the creature seem to push beyond the wall.

In his post about the finished mural, Farid Rueda explains that The Return of the Griffin also refers to his own return to paint in Saint-Brieuc. He created it for Just Paint at 8 Rue Mireille Chrysostome.

💡 Mythology Fact: Griffins served as guardian figures long before their adoption by modern fantasy. The Metropolitan Museum of Art notes that the creature was associated with Apollo and the guardianship of light in antiquity, then retained a protective role in later Christian funerary art.

🌊 “A Gardiá de Fene” — By Mandioh with Bettinarium in Fene, Spain 🇪🇸

Warm sunset light meets dark water across a single portrait. The reflection carries the face downward and makes the building seem open to the sea.

Perla Mural Fest confirms the official title and describes A Gardiá de Fene as a contemporary reworking of mythology. The festival credits Mandioh, with Bettinarium collaborating on the work. The mural was painted at Avenida do Tarrío 78 in Perlío.

💡 Language Fact: The title is written in Galician. The Real Academia Galega lists gardiá as the feminine form of gardián, meaning a person entrusted to guard, care for or watch over something. The title therefore translates as “The Guardian of Fene.”

💋 “Air Kiss” — By Gleb Kashtanov in Vitebsk, Belarus 🇧🇾

A woman blows a kiss from high on an apartment tower. Loose ribbons of pink, blue and burgundy give the enormous portrait a sense of movement.

Gleb Kashtanov’s own post gives the Russian title Воздушный поцелуй (“Air Kiss”), while a project reel describes it as Vitebsk’s largest portrait mural. It stands at Moskovskiy Prospekt 113/1.

💡 Art History Fact: Vitebsk was an avant-garde center more than a century before this mural. In 1919, Marc Chagall invited El Lissitzky to direct the graphic workshop at the Vitebsk Art Institute. After Kazimir Malevich arrived, Lissitzky moved toward Suprematist abstraction, according to MoMA’s collection history.
