SatOne

<div>German Artist, Raphael Gerlach aka SatOne painted this mural as part of the 2019 Big Picture Festival.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>‘Abstract in nature, his art is, in fact, an expression of sensitivity present in objects, but which can be ‘seen’ only on an instinctive level. The colorful sensuality of his works, continues the artist’s narration of exquisiteness hiding from direct observation, being sensed only through reflection.’</div>

Counterbalance 

<div>According to the artist, this mural tells a story of the last human on the planet after collapse of society. He will wander the the universe, forever a child, in an eternal sunset under evolving reverberating colours. The humpback whale (which is life size) carries the last link of interdependence between water, earth and air where most creatures used to exist. The bonsai tree contains the relative notion of time and space.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>Perhaps you have your own version of a story for this wall? &nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>Julian (@juliancla) was capably assisted by @refuz_paint which was completed for the 2021 Big Picture Festival.&nbsp;</div>
