261. Bona BerlinBona_Berlin
is is known for their very colourful faces, which are always a unique composition of colours, shapes and materials. These quirky heads feel pretty comfortable in the streets of the world, but everything started on small sheets of paper in Berlin. In the meantime, the paste ups have become murals that can be found in many countries on different continents.
The faces of Bona_Berlin are unique and diverse at the same time. As we all are. The artist has had several solo shows in the past years, curated the first all female street art show in Hamburg and is a fixture at many Urban Art Festivals. Besides that, Bona_Berlin supports a lot of social projects.
262. Denis KlattMy name is Denis Klatt, i am a mural artist from Dortmund-Germany. 1994 I started with Graffiti. While living a Graffiti-Lifestyle, I also was open minded for all kinds of arts and technics. Now, I am specialized in photo realistic and surrealistic murals.
263. Dan BonssaiBorn in the neighbourhood of Alameda de Osuna in Madrid, Daniel has become a multidisciplinary creative who works in the field of art and design. Inspired since he was a child by the works of Boamistura, collective that emerged in his neighbourhood, he started drawing and becoming interested in urban art at a very young age. After graduating in Industrial Design Engineering, he specialised in Ephemeral Architecture and participatory design methodologies. In 2019 he learns the techniques of muralism and it is from then on when he decides to dedicate himself professionally to urban art. Currently his work focuses mainly on large format works establishing a dialogue between communities, art, the city and the rural environment.
In the same way that a small bonsai preserves the essence of a large tree, the Bonssai project aims to give voice to and connect with the most authentic and essential part of certain places or people, and transform it into something greater by using urban art as a medium to represent in large format. Symbols, nature and the human are the soul of these surrealist creations that aim to surprise and move the viewer.
264. Pierre OwThis multidisciplinary and versatile artist, working under the pseudonym "Pierre Ow," is based in Brussels and produces works of all sizes on a wide variety of media. Murals, wooden panels, video mapping, vehicle customization, tufting art, stencils, sculptures... the possibilities of his style are limitless. Guided by his curiosity, this creative force is motivated by the technical challenges of the diverse projects he undertakes.
With 15 years of experience with spray painting, from lettering to portraits and from walls to canvases, his style now blends the balance and flow of graffiti with the calming power of geometry in clean, abstract, and resolutely modern compositions.
In the past, he has participated in various solo and group exhibitions in Belgium and France, such as Art Truc Troc at Bozar Brussels, the 2020 European Custom Board Show at Halles St Géry, Melting Pot #1 and Melting Pot #2 at Peep Art Gallery, pARTage Gallery, Blaes 70 Gallery, Firm Art Lab, the Ixelles, Jette, and Rhodes St Genèse artists' trails, the "L'Escale du Nord" cultural center in Anderlecht, Reservoir Art Bar, Chez Stephy, Vapors 3.0, and Vapors 4.0, ...

266. Afzan PirzadeHi my name is Afzan pirzade. (B. 1993)
I’m a street artist from India. I’m working as a professional muralist from past seven years, national and international. My body of work evoke a sense of wonder and introspection of realism characteristics from street art murals to monochromatic paintings on canvases depicting figurative drawings and portraits more inclined towards my renaissance traditional practice.

Thank you.
268. Oriol ArumiOriol Arumí began his artistic career as an illustrator at a young age. He made the transition to oil painting while studying Fine Arts at the University of Barcelona. A lover of nature, for over twenty years he painted countless landscapes, as well as portraits and works that straddle the line between realism and fantasy. In the last twelve years, coinciding with his move to Lleida, he has made the leap to mural painting.
Oriol Arumí's murals have a great visual impact, with a very realistic style, designed to grab the attention of citizens and make them reflect. They give voice to minority groups, promote healthy lifestyles, recover historical memory, convey surprise, culture, and joy, and ultimately reclaim spaces that were once part of nature but have been transformed by consumerist human activity into drab, ugly, and monotonous places.

273. ADWArt has been central to ADW’s life ever since he started dabbling with his creativity while still in primary school. After five years studying animation in Ballyfermot college, Dublin, he moved to Britain to work in the computer games industry. In 2005 he returned to a booming Ireland. Slowly becoming more and more disillusioned with a future in the computer graphics world and dreaming of a more creative future. However, his mind was made up for him in the fallout from the economic crash of 2008, when he was made redundant from his full-time job as a 3D artist. He returned to his creative roots and began to produce his own art full-time. A determined creative and social activist, the economic collapse provided the backdrop for much of his art and street-art, earning him much acclaim and recognition in the process. Laced with satire and burnt by honesty, his pieces are often imbued with a dash of acerbic humour.
274. SnorkHe has about 25 years of experience in graffiti and urban contemporary art. His artwork ranges from paintings and street art, to video art and live event visuals. As a young man, he was inspired by political street and poster art from Chile. In a similar vein, he likes his murals to tell a story, arouse curiosity or have an emotional appeal. With his graffiti, he likes to explore how shapes and colours can complement each other, and create both dynamism and coherence.
275. Ariel OcampoAriel Ocampo. Urban plastic artist and muralist.
He has ventured into various artistic techniques.
He graduated as a National Professor of Fine Arts at the "Prilidiano Pueyrredón" National School of Fine Arts (I.U.N.A).
276. NapamMy artist name is derived from napalm, the chemical substance that destroyed all green during the Vietnam War.
Due to my love for nature and my Vietnamese background I decided to do the exact opposite of napalm, that is; spread nature’s beauty through art. I get my inspiration from nature’s vibrant colours, its organic forms and harmonious contrasts. I always try to create something new to explore different themes, ideas and to expand my creativity. I love creating dreamy murals where people tend to be captivated by and feel warm and happy looking at them. I want my art to brighten up the neighbourhood and spread positivity. I’d like to describe my art as ‘childlike naivete’.
277. SpämSPÄM is a Street Artist from Hamburg City, who reclaims public space for artistic expression since 2008. His cartoonish characters are often made up of meat products such as Hamburgers. Basically he is trying to hit the sweet spot between trying out new, experimental stuff and repeating his main characters again and again to establish them at as many spots as possible using stickers, spraypaint, paste-ups, installations and other stuff.
278. itsperfectchaosBefore 2009 Spray for fun in my hometown. From 2009 till 2016, I studied architecture in Catalunya using the drawing to express myself. In Berlin getting into the wave until 2018. Then I had a choice to have my own studio in the south of Spain, in a small village next to Seville.
My artworks talks about how the contemporary city souls feels. Using one of the biggest tabu nowadays through one of the biggest current taboos in society such as mental health. Between dark streets the individuals jump from one present to another almost unconsciously, immerse in the routine and daily work. Fake humans dive into a continuous limbo by psychopharmaceuticals drugs slide through their own reality like zombies. They’re dragged into a unstoppable cycle of seeking pleasure and escaping pain
A interpretation of emotions, through portraits in which, beyond capturing figurative reality, an attempt is made to outline an emotional state of the protagonist. Ambiguous and contradictory expression that shows at the same time, from the strength of the human will to “LIVE”, to the emotional fragility of contemporary individuals who survive as best they can to avoid falling into “SUICIDE”
