“Souvenir”
Our latest mural painting realized in Wien, Austria, for @biennale.wien (opening today).�Curated by @callelibre

Thank you @marlenemeth for the big help during the realization. Thank you @bausolini, Konstantin and the whole @callelibre team. @Thank you @hektormeetsworld and the whole @biennalewien team.

“Souvenir” was created within the framework of the Klima Biennale Wien, a project promoted by KunstHausWien, and curated by Calle Libre. Included in the “(No) Funny Games” program, the work is part of a broader reflection that uses apparent lightness and visual appeal as a device to critically address the social and environmental implications of the climate crisis.
The artwork brings together layered narratives into a single tension, where the natural environment appears transformed and distant, no longer experienced as a shared system but as a controlled, almost simulated construct. This reflects a perception of nature emptied of empathy, in which the relationship between humans and ecosystems is reduced to a utilitarian vision.
An apparent lightness emerges through the gesture of play, which simplifies complexity and avoids consequences. In this sense, play becomes a metaphor for a superficial approach to deep and irreversible processes, contributing to a loss of awareness.
The presence of industrial materials such as plastic directly links human production to environmental transformation, presenting climate change as the outcome of altered relationships rather than an external event.
“Souvenir” functions as an image-synthesis, condensing memory, perception and responsibility into a simplified fragment, reflecting on the risk that urgent realities may be reduced to distant representations.

A collective global balance, delicate and interconnected, intrinsic bonds in fragile harmony. A natural and vital interdependence, as inevitable as it is often absurdly hidden from sight and common perception, unacknowledged in its urgencies, its vulnerabilities, and the responsibilities it entails.
Between past and present, the possibility of living by relying on what nature offers, of building upon the environment one belongs to and in harmony with it, blurs with the power to exploit, to consume, to dispose at will; just as urgency and greed, or need and the desire for profit, are confused too.

“Flow” is a temporary site-specific mural that we created in June 2026 at the Fries Museum @friesmuseum in Leeuwarden, The Netherlands, for “The Wall Is Yours: Graffiti & Street Art Takeover”, a participatory exhibition organized by the Fries Museum in collaboration with Writer’s Block @writersblockmurals.

At the center of the work is a life-sized whale, presented as a museum object, whose chrome-like reflective surface incorporates the exhibition room as it appeared at the moment the mural was painted: its architecture, surrounding artworks and traces already present on the walls. 
Throughout the participatory exhibition, visitors were allowed to interact freely with the walls, continuosly transforming the space through new interventions. The reflection painted on the whale, however, remained fixed. What initially appears as an optical illusion therefore gradually becomes a visual memory of an earlier state of the space.

Painted graffiti anticipate possible future marks left by visitors, while a human figure, standing on an anamorphic ladder, appears to clean the whale’s surface. Intervention and removal, appropriation and care, transformation and preservation become interconnected parts of the same process. 
Through “Flow”, the whale, architecture, graffiti, viewer and surrounding artworks become part of a single evolving system, continuing our investigation into the relationship between human beings and nature, and into the ways reality is perceived, represented and transformed.

The mural on the left wall is by @deih.xlf The other artists in the room are @zabouartist, @fatheat, @davidjunelouf, @davidpuckartist, @artofasbestos and @nastysons  A whale reflecting a space that no longer exist in the same way.
Physical space becomes reflection. Reflection becomes memory. Everything around it continues to change.

On World Humanitarian Day, “Paper-thin” is unveiled in Geneva.

Created for Médecins Sans Frontières Switzerland @msf_suisse and Hôpitaux Universitaires de Genève @hug_ge, the mural marks ten years since UN Security Council Resolution 2286, addressing the protection of medical and humanitarian personnel in armed conflict.
A damaged sheet of paper hovers above those who care for others, becoming at once document, shelter and fragile boundary. What is meant to protect appears vulnerable itself, pierced by the same violence it is supposed to prevent. Between responsibility and powerlessness, protection and exposure, the work reflects on the distance between principles and their application, while memory remains as a trace, a witness and a possible form of resistance. Beneath this precarious cover, individual actions become part of a shared condition: a reminder that care, protection and responsibility can only exist as collective commitments.

“Paper-thin” Geneva, Switzerland, 2026
“Paper-thin” is a public mural in Geneva addressing the protection of medical and humanitarian workers in armed conflict.
The mural depicts a large, crumpled and pierced sheet of paper suspended above a group of medical workers, humanitarian personnel and civilians in a symbolic conflict-zone landscape. The paper incorporates text from UN Security Council Resolution 2286 together with photographic references to attacks on healthcare facilities, as the Kurduz MSF Hospital in 2015 and of the Canal Hotel in Baghdad in 2003.
The technique is acrylic wall paint, with rollers and brushes, and stencils with spray paint.

“Convergence”
Mural painting we just realized in Doha (Qatar), curated by @worldwidewallsdoha / @worldwidewalls and supported by @qatar_museums.

Thank you Dimitrije, @mrjasperwong and Alya for the beautiful experience. Thank you everyone for realizing such a big project.

“Convergence” reflects on the meeting of forces that shape our shared environment — flows, tensions, and balances that exist between the human and the non-human, the visible and the concealed. Two suspended forms become thresholds, fragments of a landscape both natural and constructed, where presence and absence continually redefine each other. Within this suspended space, the subject becomes an emblem of coexistence and vulnerability, held between protection and exposure. The work invites a reflection on interdependence, on the subtle ties that bind ecosystems together, and on the role humanity plays in maintaining — or altering — this fragile, collective balance.

“Echo”  Our latest mural intervention, just realized in Lugano (Switzerland), curated by @arteurbanalugano in the context of @longlakelugano.  Conceived in direct relation to the existing architecture and its urban and natural context, the artwork unfolds as an horizontal narrative in which the characteristic physical elements of the facade, visual components, and symbolic elements engage in dialogue, playing with light, rhythm, and the relationship between the real and the represented.
By harnessing the light coming from inside the windows, the artwork lights up and fades according to the time of day, with twelve subjects setting its dynamics in an effort to evoke the coexistence of different ecosystems, cohabitation, the relationship between the local and the global, an unified vision of nature and of balance in which everyone plays an active role; but also a detached, non-empathic perception, shaped by an anthropocentric perspective in an era heavily defined by visual digital communication.
In the rhythmic sequence of the bears and their corresponding screens, each tied to a different aquatic environment, a symbolic flow emerges, a river that runs parallel to the real one.  @arteurbanalugano @longlakelugano @luganoeventi @luganomycity

“Pivot”
Mural painting we recently realized in Sohar (Oman) at the Sohar Port and Free Zone, curated by the @swissembassyoman to celebrate the @oman_sustainability_week.

Thank you @thomas.oertle, @swissembassyoman and Sohar Port for involving us and for supporting us wonderfully in every aspect. Thank you also to Maher and Ahmed @sr498480 for the big help during the realization.

An immense glass whale rises in precarious balance, resting on its snout, a fragile guardian of an environment, both its own and ours.
Its transparency reveals, protects and reflects a reality in constant tension between support and collapse, intention and action, harmony and consumption, near and far, past and future, where everything is defined by both personal and collective responsibility.
The artwork reflects on the concept of sustainability as a goal yet to be achieved, on the idea of cause and effect, on the relationship between the local and the global, and more broadly on a vision of shared participation that stems not only from planning, but first and foremost from awareness of the role each of us plays within the environment we are part of.
Planning, however, precisely as a form of responsibility, becomes essential to suggest a path forward, to foster an improved relationship with the planet, one that shifts from exploitation to balance, supported by the development of technologies aimed at restoring harmony in this relationship.

A final period of freedom for the whales of our mural “Close up” before their disappearance.
“Close up” was created in Lugano, Switzerland, in 2020 for @arteurbanalugano.
In recent months, the building that previously partially covered the wall, making it visible in its entirety only from specific positions, has been demolished and a larger one will soon be built in its place, which will permanently cover the work.
