Lynx
Created on August 8, 2025
50 Rue Ferdinand Buisson, 62200 Boulogne-sur-Mer, France

Mexican-Spanish artist duo Alegria Del Prado has unveiled a striking mural in Boulogne-sur-Mer, centered around a majestic lynx crafted from a tapestry of animals and plants. This surreal and poetic fresco invites viewers to rediscover the hidden beauty of nature, often overlooked in urban life, through intricate details like butterflies, birds, flowers, snails, and beetles. The lynx, Europe’s largest feline and a discreet presence in France, symbolizes the wild spirit that quietly persists beneath the surface of modern cities.


It so happens that this summer there was, after a hiatus of a couple of years, an action to create some murals in the district of Antwerp where I live. It was called Walls of Boho 2025.
One of these was just around the corner for me.

Brian Peterson
B. 1986

Brian Peterson is an artist based in Miami, Florida who works in Southern California. Brian’s use of vibrant colors and simplified geometries to capture the essence of the human spirit is what some have called a “contemporary street art” style. Drawing on his design background as an award-winning automotive designer and his Christian faith, Brian portrays his subjects in a form that is minimalistic, yet from a Heavenly perspective. Brian’s work can be seen in homeless shelters across the United States as well as gracing the walls of high-ends shopping facilities like Ovation Hollywood (formerly Hollywood & Highland) in Los Angeles. Brian’s humanitarian and advocacy work, which began with painting his neighbors experiencing homelessness, has led him to be featured in BBC’s Amazing Humans, The Huffington Post, NPR, and a documentary film Faces of Santa Ana. His love for art, his community, and Jesus led him to found Faces of Santa Ana, a non-profit organization focusing on homelessness and the rehabilitation of his neighbors. Faces of Santa Ana has since expanded into Faces of Mankind, sprouting in cities across the US, such as Anaheim; Riverside, CA; Detroit, MI; Miami, FL; and Jackson, TN.

Raíces del sonido
"Roots of Sound"
Created on August 3, 2025
Av. Naturais de Fene, 25, 15500 Fene, La Coruña, Spain

This image depicts a stone-carved head, fractured from within, with vibrant, colorful flowers sprouting from its cracks. It symbolizes the transformative power of music—an invisible force with the ability to break through the hardest layers of the human spirit and make inner life bloom.
Just as flowers push their way out from deep within the rock, music awakens emotions, memories, and creativity that once seemed dormant or buried. The cracks are not signs of destruction, but of openness: the chance to feel, to express, and to be reborn through music.

Nean
B. 1991
 

Nean - Fabien Hupin was born in 1991. He lives and works in Brussels. Self-taught, the capture of the suspended moment quickly became the central subject of his paintings. His poetic approach addresses the relationship between humans and their environment. Concerned to use his art as a vehicle for emotions, he draws his inspiration from music, whose titles become those of his works. Melody as a starting point, determines the colors and sensitive materials of the scenes he paints. Renowned for his treatment of light, his work is realistic, whether on walls, canvases or pencil drawings. His confident, precise gestures reflect a desire to get as close to the truth as possible. Cinema also inspires his framing and composition. He plays with shots, sometimes defined, sometimes superimposed, as if to accentuate immersion and bring us closer to the narrative. His figurative approach plunges us into a contemplative experience. His creations open up softened perspectives, creating a dreamlike dimension that he infuses into our cities, inviting us to reappropriate our public spaces.

Jean Rooble

B. 1981

Jean Rooble is a self-taught artist who learned painting through graffiti. Drawing since his childhood, he is caught by the hip-hop culture of the 90’s. Practicing tag and writing, he gradually included illustration to his mural practice, to finally focus on a photo-realistic work, always with spraypaint, freehand and according to his own photos. Revisiting classical painting, he defends societal and humanist themes on monumental surfaces. He wants to create through his painting, and from the themes he addresses, a link between people. Even if each region has its own history, its figures and its traditions, he tries to convey a universal sense of tolerance and openness to the world.

 <b>Studio Giftig</b>
 

Studio Giftig consisting of the Netherlands-based artist duo Niels van Swaemen (1981, Eindhoven) and Kaspar van Leek (1983, Philipsburg St. Maarten). They come into contact with each other in 2007, at which time both individuals have been active in street art for some time. The duo developed a common painting style, with which they became known through their highly detailed (sur)realistic murals and paintings. Recognizable by the process in which they work is the way in which they translate their own personal concepts by photographing the objects and models themselves. That’s how they ensure a total autonomy within their visual language as a starting point for their paintings.

Inspired by the Dutch Masters, this contemporary piece blends symbolic light and depth. The parrot tulip, once cherished in still lifes, now embodies transformation and grounded beauty.

 

Daniela Guerreiro
B. 1992

Daniela Guerreiro is a Portuguese artist, born in 1992 in Faro. Today she lives in Lisbon where she finds most of her inspiration. She studied Visual Arts at the Faculty of Algarve from 2013 to 2014, and then painting from 2014 to 2016, at the Belas Artes de Lisboa. Daniela is a figurative painter whose main intention of her work is to show reality, naked and raw, that is, her vision of the world. Painting allows you to capture individual and collective experiences in a more explicit concept. Each of them embodies the concept of social exclusion, shame, depression, insecurity, violence, etc., namely feelings that are little heard and talked about by society. While oil paintings individualize society, murals and street paintings aim to cover a broader, collective environment. The use of unconventional models allows you to convey a hidden beauty between each of them, where you look for a hidden and raw beauty of each character, working on color and the interaction between light and darkness. A personal and global journey in search of health and bodily connection is her main goal as a visual artist. “We need diversity in the examples around us. And we all need a healthier relationship with our bodies and with our image, to relate to the world.”

Bruma
Created on August 2, 2025
89 Rue Ferdinand Buisson, 62200 Boulogne-sur-Mer, France
Created for the anniversary edition of Street Art Boulogne-sur-Mer 2025

In Boulogne-sur-Mer’s growing open-air museum, Venezuelan-born artist Daniela Guerreiro unveils a mural that stands as a quiet yet powerful invitation: to open our minds and step into the unknown. In contrast to Wedo’s nearby work on self-image and social media, her piece offers a more introspective scene, a young woman peering through the blinds of a dark apartment, illuminated only by a narrow beam of light.
Her mural evokes intimacy, vulnerability, and courage. “It’s about that private space within us,” she says, “and the strength it takes to look outside, to connect, to try something new.” For Daniela, the darkness symbolizes the comfort zone, while the sliver of light represents the moment of transition, the decision to move beyond fear.

Don’t be afraid of wasting time
Created on August 14, 2025
365 Rue du Maréchal de Lattre de Tassigny, 62100 Calais, France

In times of obsession with productivity, we forget that wasting time is also living. Getting bored, thinking about nothing, or drifting into trivial thoughts is not a mistake: it’s a way to reclaim inner space, to remember that we are not machines. Capitalist logic wants to measure every minute in terms of output, but life is also built from silences, pauses, and “unproductive” moments that make us freer.

Edoardo Ettorre

B. 1994 
 

Edoardo Ettorre was born in L’Aquila in 1994. After attending the Liceo Scientifico Marie Curie in Giulianova (TE), he enrolled at the L’Aquila Academy of Fine Arts in 2013. During his years at the academy, he began to approach painting: a spontaneous, gestural painting that is still the hallmark of his paintings. In 2015/16 and 2018/19 he lives in Valencia (Spain) and attends the UPV (Universitat Politecnica de Valencia) thanks to the ‘Erasmus’ programme. He experiments with several fields of visual arts, being particularly fascinated by installation and street art, expressions that often coexist in his works. Hand in hand with his experience abroad, an interest in the dynamics of modern society and social criticism begins to manifest itself in his works. In February 2020, he obtained his second level diploma at the Academy of Fine Arts in L’Aquila. He currently devotes himself to predominantly pictorial research, jumping from small paintings to large murals. Using different techniques, he paints familiar images captured every day by our gazes, now attentive now distracted, such as a waitress on the phone or a snapshot of an evening with friends. His poetics focuses on the relationship between the individual and society, on aspects of the ‘pre-packaged’ world in which we live. Questioning these issues leads the spectator to reflect, using the tones of sarcasm.

Orizzonti di cemento
Created on August 6, 2025
50 Rue Ferdinand Buisson, 62200 Boulogne-sur-Mer, France

Inspired by a photograph taken by a friend during a trip to Madagascar, the mural depicts a young boy in sandals, carrying a bundle of cassava and looking up at the sky with a bright smile. For Edoardo Ettore, this choice is not insignificant: "Madagascar is a former French colony, and I like my works to remain open to interpretation." But if I had to give one, this smile reminds us, especially Westerners, that happiness is not always found in the objects we accumulate."

 

 Fraggi

”Hi I'm Fraggi, Granada-based street artist and muralist. I've left some murals across Brazil, Portugal, and Turkey. Art has always been my way of making sense of things. Whether it's sculpting bronze, film photos, or building stick sculptures (like I did back when I had my little atelier in Lisbon's Marvila), it's all part of the same journey. These days, you'll mostly find me in Spain painting big walls in interesting places in the most rural areas.”

Her paintings aim to reinvent classical elements through a contemporary perspective, resulting in a fusion between the traditional and the modern.

The fusion of the figurative with the abstract and the handling of color in her works convey a sense of movement, energy and dynamism, giving them a distinctive characteristic that defines her style. Her ability to transition her art from the streets to galleries has enable Irene to actively participate in urban art festivals and exhibitions in different parts of the world, thereby consolidating her career in the art world.

I recently came across a website that collects street art from around the world, and for August 2025 alone there were more than a hundred nominees for “best of the month.” Visitors could vote for their favorites, and the site features the winner as well as all the nominees. That struck me as an incredible amount of creativity for just one month—proof that street art is really exploding right now.
Most of the works are huge, sometimes stretching across the whole side of an apartment building. Many lean toward the surreal, a few toward abstraction, and all of them are painted under real-life conditions, in whatever weather the artists faced.
I’ve made a selection of thirty pieces that stood out to me, and I hope you’ll enjoy them as much as I did.
I did not include the final winner, if you’re curious just hop over to the website:
