These 3D Street Art Murals by Shozy Look Like Glitches in Real Life
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.

The Wave Is Coming – Balashikha, Russia
This towering mural creates the illusion of a wave of balconies melting and crashing through the facade. The soft curves and distorted lines make the rigid architecture appear liquid and unstable, transforming the building into a sculptural cascade.More photos and about: “The Wave Is Coming” by Shozy in Balashikha, Russia
Melted Facade – Paris, France
Painted on a tall residential block, this mural creates a mind-bending mirrored distortion that appears to collapse the middle of the building inward. Framed by a bold red outline, it manipulates light and geometry to make the wall ripple like a heatwave.More photos and about: 3D Mural by Shozy in Paris, France
Anamorphic Mural – Solnechnogorsk, Russia
Part of the International Mural Festival in Solnechnogorsk, this illusion uses sharp angles and cubes to mimic balconies protruding into space. The effect plays with depth and shadow, creating fake extensions that seamlessly integrate into the building’s original layout.More photos and about: Stunning Optical Illusion Mural by Shozy Changes the Way You See Street Art
Impossible Geometry – Salekhard, Russia
Located above the Arctic Circle, this mural plays with Escher-like geometry, appearing to remove parts of the building while extending impossible window boxes. Painted across a warm-toned facade, the illusion challenges viewers’ perception of dimension.More photos and about: “Arctic circle house” by Shozy in Salekhard, Russia
Code of the Mountains – Derbent, Russia
On the wall of a residential building in Derbent, Shozy painted a symmetrical, abstract form inspired by local patterns and cosmic motifs. The soft gradient gives the illusion of depth, making the artwork appear like a three-dimensional glowing portal.More photos and about: Mural by Shozy at in Derbent, Russia
Shozy’s urban illusions turn functional housing blocks into impossible architectural puzzles. These works demonstrate how street art can reshape familiar environments without a single brick being moved. Whether it’s a melting facade or a floating cube, Shozy invites us to reimagine what walls can be.

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.
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.
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.
Mauro Pallotta’s Pope with a Heart Slingshot in Rome, Italy
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.
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.

“If You Can Afford to Send Katy Perry to Space” – Near Amazon’s HQ in London, UK
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.
“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.
“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.
“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.
“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.
“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.
“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.
“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.
“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.
“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.More by Banksy!: 24 artworks by Banksy: Who Is The Visionary of Street Art?
“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.

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.
🔗 Follow JEKS ONE on Instagram
Crowned Innocence – Atlanta, USA
A vibrant orange goldfish appears to be swimming out of a building, weaving between turquoise geometric shapes. The realistic lighting and shadows, combined with bold perspective, create a jaw-dropping 3D effect.
Memento Flor – Tulsa, USA
A skeletal hand extends from the right side of the wall, clutching a fresh bouquet of roses, peonies, and foliage. The stark bone contrasts with the lush color of the flowers.
Autonomy – Waterford, Ireland
A woman’s face is softly obscured by a sheer veil that appears to move with the light. The mural’s drapery and translucent fabric effect blur the lines between painting and photo.
Serenity – Cincinnati, USA
A woman with closed eyes is enveloped in vines and oversized blossoms. The flowers seem to grow from her, blending human form with nature in seamless photorealistic detail.
Timekeeper – Chattanooga, USA
An older man with a long white beard cradles a handful of delicate flowers. The mural is rendered in black and white, with only the flowers in vibrant pink and white tones.
Dub – Southend-on-Sea, UK
A man stares intensely while stretching the skin around his eyes. Every wrinkle and highlight is painted with surgical precision, capturing the distorted perspective of the original photograph.
Rise Up – St. Petersburg, USA
Bob Marley is shown smoking, his face lit with realism and framed by the words “RISE UP” in bold white letters. Smoke weaves through the letters, blending portrait and message.
Reflected Ascent – Kansas City, USA
