3D Madness By Shozy! (5 Photos)


Born in Moscow, Danila Shmelev—better known as Shozy—has spent over two decades bending urban reality with paint. After studying at the Moscow Institute of Art & Industrial and training in classical techniques, he took his graffiti roots into the third dimension. Today, Shozy is best known for his striking 3D street art, where illusions of melted balconies, floating cubes, and warped towers appear on residential blocks from France to the Arctic Circle.


This post showcases six of his most compelling works: a wave crashing down a Soviet facade in Balashikha, a mirrored distortion in Paris, and a mesmerizing mural above the Arctic Circle in Salekhard, among others. From large-scale murals at international street art festivals to conceptual studio work, Shozy continues to explore light, volume, and realism in ways that stop people in their tracks.

Let’s take a closer look at how he’s reshaping cityscapes with nothing but illusion.

Two Artists Capture the Spirit of Pope Francis in the Streets of Rome


On April 21, 2025, Pope Francis passed away at the age of 88 in his residence at Casa Santa Marta in Vatican City. His death followed complications from pneumonia after a long hospitalization. As the first Latin American and Jesuit pope, his 12-year papacy was marked by humility, reform, and outspoken support for the marginalized. Even before his passing, Pope Francis had already become a symbol in public spaces—immortalized not by statues or official portraits alone, but by street artists responding to his message in real time. Two powerful works in Rome now carry even deeper weight.

Street art mural in Rome by Mauro Pallotta shows Pope Francis as a flying superhero in white robes and a cape, holding a black briefcase labeled “Valores.” The painting is on a gray building wall, with clean comic-book lines and vibrant contrast.

Super Pope by Mauro Pallotta in Rome, Italy


This mural became globally recognized in 2014, just a short walk from the Vatican. It portrays Pope Francis as a comic book-style superhero flying with a briefcase labeled “Valores” (Spanish for “Values”) and a white cape fluttering behind him. A cross hangs from the handle like a keychain.

Mauro Pallotta, also known as Maupal, created the piece to reflect the Pope’s bold approach to social issues—his flight powered not by force, but by ethics and humility.

Street art mural in Rome by Mauro Pallotta showing Pope Francis on a ladder, drawing a peace sign in a tic-tac-toe game above a shop window. A Swiss Guard in blue, red, and orange uniform walks past on a yellow wall in a narrow street.

Tic-Tac-Toe for Peace by Mauro Pallotta in Rome, Italy


In another mural by Maupal, the Pope is seen standing on a ladder, drawing peace signs into a tic-tac-toe game above a window display of bottles. A Swiss Guard walks away, seemingly unaware of the Pope’s quiet rebellion, or is he on the the lookout? The “O”s are peace signs. The “X”s are stacked like weapons.

Painted in Pallotta’s instantly recognizable comic style, this piece gently critiques the systems around the papacy, while celebrating Francis’s consistent efforts to sneak peace into every conversation—even where it wasn’t expected.

Street art mural by Mauro Pallotta (Maupal) in Rome, Italy, depicting Pope Francis playfully holding a slingshot with a red heart-shaped projectile. The figure is illustrated in cartoon style, wearing traditional papal robes and a cross necklace, leaning slightly with a cheerful expression. The artwork is painted on the corner of a warm-colored building wall.

Cartoon-style mural by Maupal depicting Pope Francis playfully holding a slingshot with a red heart-shaped projectile. The figure is illustrated in cartoon style, wearing traditional papal robes and a cross necklace, leaning slightly with a cheerful expression.

A guerrilla street poster by Andrea Villa on a Roman bus stop features Pope Francis smiling and holding a sign that says: “IN A WORLD OF HATE, BE FRANCIS.” Trees and apartment buildings frame the urban setting.

Be Francis by Andrea Villa in Rome, Italy


Installed guerrilla-style on a bus stop billboard in Rome, this intervention by Andrea Villa shows Pope Francis smiling gently and holding a sign that reads: “In a world of hate, be Francis.” The format imitates an ad, but the message is far from commercial.

Villa, known for his politically charged works, turns public space into a platform for quiet resistance. The text reframes Francis as more than a leader—he becomes a call to action, an embodiment of decency in a polarized world.

These two murals, both steps away from the Vatican, now serve as poignant reminders of Pope Francis’s unique position in modern history. Street artist Maupal, through humor and simplicity, managed to say what many felt: that this Pope tried—quietly but consistently—to steer the world toward something kinder.

10 Street Messages That Hit Harder Than Headlines (Political Graffiti Edition)


From brutal truths spray-painted on walls to cleverly subverted bus stop ads, this collection of graffiti, stickers, and rogue billboards captures a wave of unrest, sarcasm, and resistance sweeping through public spaces. Anonymous artists challenge billionaires, late-stage capitalism, and societal complacency—reminding us that the streets are still speaking.

This modified JCDecaux billboard near St Leonard’s Hospital features Jeff Bezos laughing beside Katy Perry in a space suit, with bold black text reading: “If you can afford to send Katy Perry to space, you can afford to pay more taxes.” A direct and humorous critique of tax inequality and billionaire extravagance. By this artist collective.

Black-and-white image of two children in front of a graffiti TV frame with the text “Consume, be silent, die” dripping in spray paint.

“Consume, Be Silent, Die”


Graffiti mimicking a television frame spells out: “Consume, be silent, die,” dripping with black spray paint. Two children pose beneath it—one seated, the other stretching out their arms—turning the critique into an unsettling yet playful scene of youth against indoctrination.

A street sticker with bold text reading “THE ONLY DANGEROUS MINORITY IS THE RICH” placed on a gray utility box against a blue wall.

“The Only Dangerous Minority Is the Rich”


This bold sticker pasted on a tagged utility box cuts through the noise with pure typographic protest. The statement plays on language often used against marginalized groups and flips it toward economic power structures.

Back of a gray pickup truck with message: “Poverty exists not because we can’t feed the poor, but because we can’t satisfy the rich,” painted in black and red letters.

“Poverty Exists…”


A handmade sign on the back of a pickup truck declares: “Poverty exists not because we can’t feed the poor, but because we can’t satisfy the rich.” The words are painted in bold, uneven lettering—raw, mobile, and unforgettable.

Graffiti on a plain gray wall reads: “Do You Believe in life after work?” in mixed-case black spray paint.

“Do You Believe in Life After Work?”


A twist on the classic Cher lyric, this minimal spray-painted message on a concrete wall invites a deep reflection on the meaning of freedom and the trap of wage labor.

White spray-painted text on a red brick wall reads: “MAKE HUMANS GREAT AGAIN” with a small heart symbol at the bottom.

“Make Humans Great Again”


With a cheeky nod to political slogans, this graffiti flips nationalist messaging into a call for compassion. The scrawled heart at the bottom softens the bold declaration.

A white panel in a bus shelter features the black spray-painted phrase: “THE COST OF FREEDOM HAS NEVER BEEN SO EXPENSIVE.”

“The Cost of Freedom”


This text-only piece reads: “The cost of freedom has never been so expensive,” neatly painted on a white billboard frame. The stark, all-black lettering amplifies the message’s weight.

White handwritten text on a black discarded refrigerator reads: “YOU ARE CLOSER TO THE STREET THAN YOU WILL EVER BE TO ANY BILLIONAIRE.”

“You Are Closer to the Street…”


This sharp sidewalk commentary reminds passersby: “You are closer to the street than you will ever be to any billionaire.” Written in white marker on a discarded fridge, it turns garbage into truth-telling.

Yellow wall mural shows small black fish uniting to form a larger fish facing off against a predator. Text reads: “DO NOT PANIC / ORGANIZE.”

“Do Not Panic, Organize”


This stenciled mural uses visual metaphor: small black fish are shown forming the shape of a giant fish about to consume a larger lone predator. Message: “Do not panic—organize.” A call for collective action.

Banksy artwork on a brick wall over a drainage tunnel. Three children in explorer costumes and hats look out from under a phrase: “We’re all in the same boat.”

“We’re All in the Same Boat” – Artwork by Banksy in Lowestoft, UK


Painted under a bridge, three children dressed as explorers peer out from a makeshift paper boat. The phrase “We’re all in the same boat” adds layers of irony, highlighting economic and environmental vulnerability.

“All Americans Must Be Accompanied by an Adult”


A chalkboard menu sign delivers a sarcastic jab at American political culture. Written in casual, café-style handwriting, the joke lands hard—and fast.

From cheeky bar signs to high-impact guerrilla billboards, these street-level commentaries reveal a shared frustration with the global status quo. Anonymous artists around the world are reclaiming public space to raise difficult questions—and they’re not asking nicely.

Keep your eyes peeled for the East Side Gallery, a 1.3 km long section of the wall that boasts over 100 colorful paintings by artists from all around the globe.

Some example of street art from Berlin:

A striking mural by SMUG in Kreuzberg, Berlin, created for the Berlin Mural Fest.

2 Melbourne, Australia: The Laneway Capital


Next, we’re jetting off to Melbourne, Australia’s vibrant laneway capital. Wander through the city’s narrow alleys to find an ever-changing canvas of graffiti and street art. Don’t miss the iconic Hosier Lane, a bustling hub of creativity where local and international artists leave their mark. And be sure to swing by AC/DC Lane, a tribute to the legendary rock band and a celebration of Melbourne’s music scene.

Some example of street art from Melbourne:

A massive ground mural by Kitt Bennett, depicting a skeletal figure with pink hair lying on its back, seemingly engrossed in a smartphone held in one bony hand. The skeleton wears a large sneaker with a smiley face design on one foot, while its other foot rests on a cartoonish skull. The artwork spans an abandoned lot, surrounded by graffiti-covered walls and parked cars. The sheer scale of the mural creates a striking aerial perspective, blending elements of dark humor with urban decay in this captivating street art piece.By Kitt Benett in Melbourne, Australia

A vibrant night view of Hosier Lane in Melbourne, Australia, renowned for its ever-evolving street art and graffiti. The narrow cobblestone alley is illuminated by bright streetlights, casting a glow over the colorful murals that adorn both walls.

Overhead, a string of shoes hangs from a wire, adding a whimsical touch to the urban landscape. The scene captures the dynamic energy and creativity of this iconic art-filled laneway.Hosier Lane

A powerful mural by Loretta Lizzio on a large concrete silo in Brunswick, Australia. The artwork depicts two figures embracing with deep emotion, highlighting themes of unity and compassion. One figure, wearing a dark headscarf, holds the other tightly, who is draped in a patterned blue garment. The mural is strikingly realistic, with subtle details such as the folds in the clothing and the expression of peace on their faces. The neutral tones of the concrete silo contrast with the vivid blues and blacks of the mural, making the piece stand out against the cloudy sky.

3 São Paulo, Brazil: The Birthplace of Pixação


Our next stop is São Paulo, Brazil, where you’ll encounter a unique form of graffiti known as “pixação.” This bold, angular style of lettering originated in the 1980s and has since become a symbol of the city’s vibrant street art culture. Head to the neighborhood of Vila Madalena to find the famous Batman Alley, a kaleidoscope of colorful murals that attract visitors from all over the world.

4 London, England: The Home of Banksy


No street art tour would be complete without a visit to London, the “home” of the elusive artist Banksy (born in Bristol). His provocative stenciled artworks can be found scattered throughout the city, often accompanied by thought-provoking messages.

While in town, also make sure to explore the Shoreditch district, a creative hub filled with quirky galleries, vibrant murals, and captivating graffiti.

Some example of street art from London:

A street art piece by Banksy from 2012 in London, created to mark the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee. The artwork features a stencil of a young boy sitting at a sewing machine, crafting Union Jack bunting. The realistic details of the boy’s concentrated expression contrast sharply with the whimsical nature of the celebratory flags, which extend in a line along the wall. The placement on a plain beige wall adds to the stark and thought-provoking commentary on labor and festivity. The scene reflects Banksy’s signature style of blending humor with social critique.Banksy did this 2012 (London) to celebrate the Queen’s diamond jubilee

A provocative mural titled "The Psychos" by artist Loretto, painted in 2018 in Shoreditch, London, UK. The artwork portrays three world leaders as members of a fictional band. Donald Trump is depicted as the vocalist, holding a microphone, Vladimir Putin sits at a drum set with a stern expression, and Kim Jong-un plays an electric guitar, striking a flamboyant pose with a devil horns hand gesture. The drum set is labeled "The Psychos," highlighting the satirical theme. The black-and-white stencil style is accented by bright splashes of red, yellow, and blue in their ties and outfits, emphasizing their personalities. The piece critiques global power dynamics with sharp humor.The Psychos – By Loretto from 2018 in Shoreditch, London, UK.

A creative mural titled "Free Range Eggxaggeration" by WOSKerski, located in Shoreditch. The artwork depicts a hyper-realistic image of a white t-shirt hanging on a clothesline, with an oversized egg yolk melting and dripping down the fabric as if the shirt is made of egg. The rich yellow of the yolk contrasts strikingly with the brown wall background, making the surreal composition pop. The surrounding urban setting, with a wire fence and brick buildings in the background, enhances the playful and imaginative tone of the piece. The illusionistic style demonstrates the artist's mastery of depth and texture.Free Range Eggxaggeration – By WOSKerski in Shoreditch

5 New York City, USA: The Birthplace of Modern Graffiti


Last but not least, we arrive in New York City, the birthplace of modern graffiti. From the iconic 5Pointz (R.I.P) in Queens to the ever-evolving walls of the Bushwick Collective in Brooklyn, there’s no shortage of stunning street art to admire. Don’t forget to pay homage to the legendary Keith Haring, whose iconic Pop Shop once stood in Manhattan’s SoHo neighborhood.

Some example of street art from New York City:

A haunting mural by Suitswon on a crumbling concrete structure in Brooklyn, New York, USA. The artwork transforms the dilapidated building into a giant skull, with two large holes resembling hollow eye sockets and cracks forming a menacing grin. Green plants grow within the openings, blending nature with urban decay. The Manhattan skyline is visible across the water under a bright blue sky, contrasting the eerie, skeletal facade. The rawness of the ruins and the surrounding debris amplify the gritty, post-apocalyptic aesthetic of the piece.By Suitswon in Brooklyn, New York, USA

A stunning mural by OG Millie in New York, USA, depicting a stylized portrait of a woman with vibrant red lips, green eyes, and glowing skin, set against a soft gradient background of purples and pinks. The mural is elevated by a three-dimensional floral installation above the woman's head, featuring cascading pink, white, and purple flowers, along with lush green foliage, creating the appearance of a lavish floral crown. A person wearing a hat and face mask poses in front of the mural, adding a modern and interactive touch to the artwork's urban setting. Skyscrapers in the background reflect the bustling energy of the city.By OG Millie in New York, USA

A playful mural by Tom Bob in New York, USA, featuring a cartoonish figure with green hair and clown makeup, dressed in an orange suit. The character is depicted applying red lipstick while holding a reflective circular mirror, integrated cleverly into the artwork. The mirror reflects a real-life scene of an alleyway, including a person in the background, blending the painted mural with its environment. The dark brick wall background and the adjacent dumpster add an urban, gritty context that contrasts with the vibrant and humorous style of the art.Tom Bob in New York, USA

9 Amazing Murals by JEKS ONE That Blur the Line Between Paint and Reality


This curated collection showcases nine murals that highlight JEKS ONE’s command of photorealism, symbolism, and scale.


From a delicate bouquet offered by a skeleton in Tulsa to a veiled figure in Waterford, Ireland, the works span cities across the U.S. and Europe.

JEKS ONE’s use of light and shadow draws viewers in — whether through the softness of a child’s gaze, the surreal humor of cartoon crossovers, or the intimate wrinkles of an old man. In this post, you’ll find portraits, symbolism, and dreamlike illusions — all painted directly onto city walls.

Le CyKlop: Turning the Ordinary into One-Eyed Wonders - STREET ART UTOPIA

By putting an eye on them, I try to bring them to life, give them a soul and give birth to a form of fantasy. Think about the mythical creature, the Cyclops, sporting a single eye in the center of its forehead.
