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:
