Playful Murals Of Acrobatic Poses By Artez That Dominate Cityscapes Worldwide
Street artist Artez’s “Simple Acrobatics” series challenges architectural limits and our desire for growth through large-scale murals in cities like Aalborg, Bristol, Patras, and Wuppertal. His works depict dancers and gymnasts in striking poses, often with a chair, subverting expectations of public art.
In his latest series, “Thirst”, Artez’s focus pivots as he depicts figures drinking from flower vases. The disruptive behaviour prompts viewers to subtly question societal norms and reflect on what sustains us. Artez’s art invites self-awareness and encourages a new perspective on how we interact with the world and ourselves.

Shanilou has always loved reading and learning about the world we live in. While she enjoys fictional books and stories just as much, since childhood she was especially fascinated by encyclopaedias and strangely enough, self-help books. As a kid, she spent most of her time consuming as much knowledge as she could get her hands on and could always be found at the library. Now, she still enjoys finding out about all the amazing things that surround us in our day-to-day lives and is blessed to be able to write about them to share with the whole world as a profession.
