🎨 A Writer Inside the Wildstyle — By ROICE 183 in Emden, Germany 🇩🇪

A figure in bright goggles appears inside dense lettering, arrows and splashes of color.

Painted by ROICE 183 for Hit the Trog, which turned roughly 2,100 square metres of concrete into permanent public art at Am Tonnenhof. Photo by Kevin Schulzbus.

💡 What We Could Verify: ROICE began writing graffiti in 1995. He made his first piece on the ground with markers and paint taken from school—without spray paint.

🥽 The Street Inside the Visor — By Dor Shriner in Ludwigsfelde, Germany 🇩🇪

A woman in a futuristic visor looks out from the wall, with Shriner standing beside her. Buildings and sky are reflected in the curved glass.

In his post about the wall, Shriner credits crew member Shaz Spreadlove with helping him paint it. The mural was painted beneath the bridge beside Ludwig Arkaden for Da Bridge Jam 2026. The festival’s seventh edition brought together more than 30 artists.

💡 What We Could Verify: Real spacewalk helmets use a gold-coated sun visor to shield astronauts from strong solar radiation while preserving a clear field of view.

🕊️ “Woman with Olive Branch” — By Fintan Magee in Augsburg, Germany 🇩🇪

A woman looks into the distance with an olive branch across her shoulder. Magee’s rippled distortion makes her appear to be behind moving glass. In his post about the mural, he says it spans 16 floors and was painted entirely from scaffolding.

Painted at Lechhauser Straße 35 for Augsburg’s Peace Tower project, developed by Die Bunten e.V., the Wohnbaugruppe Augsburg and the city’s Peace Office.

💡 What We Could Verify: The Peace Tower has six mural surfaces measuring 288 square metres each. The city describes the wider project as the largest mural project yet undertaken in Augsburg and Swabia.

🌿 More: When Nature Becomes Art — 100 murals and sculptures.

🎭 “Tragicomedia” — By Theo Magma in Seville, Spain 🇪🇸

A tear-streaked jester reaches toward a single gold ball in Tragicomedia. Theo Magma’s wider photo set shows the finished mural inside a stripped-out building in Seville.

💡 What We Could Verify: The word tragicomedy first appears in the prologue to Plautus’s Amphitryon, where it is used because the play includes kings and gods alongside a slave.

🦆 “Bounce back” — By Jack Lack in Emden, Germany 🇩🇪

An upside-down duck hangs by one foot in Bounce back. Jack Lack writes that falling is sometimes unavoidable, but we can choose how to respond.

Created for Hit the Trog at Am Tonnenhof in Emden.

💡 What We Could Verify: The English noun duck comes from Old English dūce. The related verb shares roots with Old High German tūhhan, meaning “to dive.”

🌼 “INCOMING / CHEGADA” — By Helen Bur in Ordes, Spain 🇪🇸

A mother and daughter curl together among sunflowers. The festival’s post about the mural says it is about motherhood, family bonds and the uncertainty of change.

Created at Rúa da Reverencia 42 for DesOrdes Creativas 2026. Photo by Pedro Galbán.

💡 What We Could Verify: Young sunflowers track the Sun, but mature heads usually face east. In field experiments, east-facing flowers warmed faster and attracted five times as many pollinating insects as west-facing flowers.

🐈 The Cat Owns the Alley — By Boris HMS — Location Unconfirmed

Boris calls the work HMS Club!!!. A giant white cat looms over a neon-lit alley filled with smaller cats.

HMS is short for Harmlos Spray Club, a Bern-based collective that includes Boris Chiaradia.

💡 What We Could Verify: Domestic cats cannot taste sweetness because Tas1r2 is an unexpressed pseudogene. Tigers and cheetahs have the same genetic defect.

🌠 “Au delà des rêves” — By K2B Graff and Naja Calligraphie in Calais, France 🇫🇷

In Au delà des rêves, a child flies through a star-filled sky while the Little Prince and the fox sit on an asteroid below. K2B says the child represents youth, hope, love and dreams that feel too big. Children at the neighborhood center chose the title.

The 9-by-10-metre mural was painted at Résidence du Petit Prince on Rue Henri Matisse for the Calais Street Art Festival. Photo by Mural Rich.

💡 What We Could Verify: A real asteroid named 46610 Bésixdouze commemorates the Little Prince’s home, B-612. The decimal number 46610 becomes B612 when written in hexadecimal notation.

🔷 A Face Built from Angles — By Andrii Kovtun in Berlin, Germany 🇩🇪

Kovtun translated a digital portrait into paint, using sharp planes of turquoise, orange, black and white. He created the mural for Aura Labs, a new-media art centre at RAW-Gelände, Revaler Straße 99.

💡 What We Could Verify: RAW is a railway acronym, not an art term. The site opened in 1867 as the Royal Prussian Railway Workshop Berlin II and later became a Reichsbahnausbesserungswerk, or state railway repair works—the source of the name RAW-Gelände.

⛈️ “Les orages tombent un peu plus loin” — By Rémi Tournier in Nœux-les-Mines, France 🇫🇷

The 15-by-7-metre mural, painted in acrylic, shows a person resting with a black dog beside Tournier’s short poem. In his post about the mural, Tournier says it is less about dogs than about what they mean to him: the refuge they offer during difficult moments and a place to wait for the storm to pass.

Painted at Place d’Arras for Festival Les Petits Bonheurs. The municipality says participants from three local organizations supporting people with disabilities helped create it.

💡 What We Could Verify: Titles and written text are central to Tournier’s work. He says they shape how a piece is read and let him paint less expected images.

🌸 Looking Up Through the Flowers — By Taylor White in Lynn, Massachusetts, USA 🇺🇸

A child holds prayer beads beneath a constellation and beside a flowering stem. In her post about the mural, White says the design is about finding order in nature, truth, beauty, creativity and faith, as well as strength in difficult times.

Painted at the Lynn YMCA, 20 Neptune Boulevard, for Beyond Walls’ Classroom to the Streets program. White credits Ndesi and students from St. Mary’s for helping with the mural. Photo by ASLY Film.

💡 What We Could Verify: The English word bead originally meant “a prayer”. Its meaning shifted to the small objects strung together and used to count prayers.

🟠 A Portrait Among the Bees — By Miguel Molina and Renato Moll in Brasília, Brazil 🇧🇷

Orange bee characters surround Molina’s portrait of fellow Brasília artist Renato Moll. In the post about the work, Molina says Moll invited him to paint in the street, so he turned their collaboration into a portrait of his friend in Asa Norte.

💡 What We Could Verify: Molina also paints as WOW and is part of ABP, the Brazilian Academy of Characters, a national graffiti crew focused on original figures and murals.

A sharply dressed figure appears four times against panels of mint, pink, chartreuse and orange.

Created for the Wooden Walls Project on the Asbury Park Boardwalk. Photo by Street Art Perspectives.

💡 What We Could Verify: The Wooden Walls Project began with a practical response to Hurricane Sandy: wooden barriers erected around damaged boardwalk buildings became surfaces for public art.

🦊 The Fox and the Panda — By Ircles Graffiti and Jhon RM in Uberlândia, Brazil 🇧🇷

A fox and a giant panda fill the wall side by side. Misty trees and warm orange light run through the background of both portraits.

The collaboration was created for Jardim Urbano UDI at Beco do Planalto.

💡 What We Could Verify: A giant panda’s “thumb” is not a true digit. It is an enlarged wrist bone covered by a fleshy pad, which the animal uses to grasp bamboo stalks.

🌊 “Susurro de mar” — By Un Jotape in Viña del Mar, Chile 🇨🇱

A figure stands beneath red and turquoise water, with parts of the body fading into the current. In his caption for the mural, Jotape describes the sunset as a burning tapestry returning the threads of a dream.

Created for the Museo de Muralismo in Gómez Carreño, produced by Lira Arte Público and Culturas Viña, and curated by Esteban Barrera Olmedo.

💡 What We Could Verify: Organized mural brigades became part of Chilean public life during the 1963 presidential campaign. They used bold wall designs and direct messages, establishing a collective mural tradition decades before today’s open-air museums.

A blue-and-gold long-haired cat watches from the full height of the facade. In a breakdown of the project, Kataction says the 16-by-12-metre mural took eight consecutive days, 45 litres of acrylic and 150 spray cans.

Created at 41 Quai du Commerce for Calais Street Art Festival with Les Ateliers du Graff.
