The post Check Out These Stunning Eye Murals by My Dog Sighs appeared first on MyTrendTales.
]]>My Dog Sighs describes his style as “combination of melancholic and often naive portraiture.” His overall artistic journey is characterized by the use of found materials including discarded food tins that he transforms into artworks.
However, his eye murals have captured the attention of street art enthusiasts. They are found across the United Kingdom, including his hometown of Portsmouth, London, Glasgow, and Cardiff, as well as several international locations.
“The power of art is that it just makes people look at the world in a slightly different way,” My Dog Sighs shared in an interview with Big Issue. “As a street artist, what I find really powerful is the idea that it’s not just people looking for art that are seeing it. Every demographic walks down the street and can stumble across a piece of street art.“
If you want to check out more of My Dog Sighs’ stunning murals and don’t plan a visit to the United Kingdom anytime soon, continue scrolling.

]]>Hera’s murals are mainly focused on humans, their place in the world, and how they deal with social injustice and political dilemmas.
Being the daughter of a Pakistani immigrant, Hera is also drawn to the subjects of immigration, movement, and search for a better life. Just recently, she created a piece on this subject called “We all are Birds of Migration. Some With Feathers, Some Without,” in Stavanger, Norway, for the Nuart festival.
“We all exist today because our ancestors at some point either freely migrated to greener pastures, more fertile grounds, greater resources, and safer living conditions, or were forcibly moved from one place to another at some point at some point in history,” said Hera about the work. “… My mural is a tribute to those travellers, nomads, explorers, survivors.”
If you don’t happen to have a chance to check out Hera’s murals in person, scroll below to see them through the magic of social media.

]]>Yoro, who also goes by his alter ego Hula, paints his artwork mostly on places that are only accessible by water. He hits the waters on his surfboard and has to paddle out to the designated spot while making sure his supplies don’t end up falling from the board. When he gets there, he battles currents and needs to work quickly before the tides come and interfere with his art.
“I had to learn not only a faster and more efficient way to paint while on a surfboard but also blending layers together needed to be able to adapt to the tides and other variables that might restrict certain areas of the wall,” Yoro revealed in a recent chat with Colossal.
The unusual locations also cause his murals to evolve constantly. The visibility changes depending on the tides, while water leaves marks on the artwork that alter it in a surreal way.
Check out more of his impressive works below.

]]>Fully immersed in her artistic lifestyle, her creations are celebrated both online and offline, with more than 30k fans on Instagram and exhibitions around the world as well as murals in cities like Detroit, New York, Chicago, Canada, and France. But like most creative spirits, it took her some time to embrace her calling.
“Honestly, I always wanted to be an artist but it somehow felt like an impossible dream,” she admits. It wasn’t until she worked at a big agency (“a windowless cubicle”) designing what seemed like pointless ads, that she realized she would rather fail at being an artist than succeed in advertising.
“I wanted to quit right then and there but instead worked tirelessly during every hour spent outside of that cubical until I was able to support myself independently,” she says. Luckily for us, she eventually took the required leap of faith. Watch as her art slowly, but surely takes over the world.
@patrickethen’s current solo show, “Field Condition” (which is not the above pics, just to clarify) is a hyper-sensory site-specific art installation that centers around a body of ephemeral, immersive light sculptures 
The show is up until September 27th and it SO GOOD. See @playdetroit for details.

]]>“I once read this quote [by philosopher Calvin Seerveld] that said as an artist it’s important to ‘fire your art until it emits sparks that warm, or burn, those it reaches,’ and for me that how I see my work and my responsibility as an artist,” said Maciver in an interview with Huck Magazine.
With almost 100k followers on Instagram, her art reaches both online and offline audiences. But when it comes to the power of words, Maciver turns to her faith. “In terms of words that get me through the day, it’d definitely be The Bible – that’s also added to my understanding of the power of words,” she explains. “Naturally, I’m a bit of a pessimist so it helps to meditate on words of truth and encouragement.”
According to Maciver, the creative process begins with choosing the right words. “Before I even start painting a wall, I think a lot about the concept and what I want to communicate,” she explains. “I love the colors and the patterns and all that, but that’s almost secondary to what I want to say.”

Her murals display themes from Eastern European folk art with a focus on pattern and narrative. Animals, people, architecture, and nature are seen blended together seamlessly across buildings and walls, creating fantasy scenes that are rich with symbolism.
Volo’s work includes neighborhood murals and corporate commissioned work for a wide range of international clients including Starbucks, Louis Vuitton, Lululemon, Simons, and Honda. She’s also known for creating the largest mural in Canada painted by a woman in Montreal’s Mile End neighborhood.
“My perspective is murals can bring energy to a space,” she says. “It wasn’t till I got the opportunity to do a mural that I got to transform a space, and I got hooked! I loved that it was an idea that could be interpreted and reinterpreted every day by people.”
Prepare to get hooked.

]]>These two anonymous artists from Bordeaux have been capturing the attention of the street art world recently thanks to the stunning large-scale murals they have been painting across Europe.
Usually painted in black, white, and gold, their artworks depict mythological creatures and alchemy motifs while also being rich in details from the past like timekeeping devices, classical architecture, and much more. The recurring figure in their works is monkey and bird humanoid that represents “the two faces of humankind; the monkey being the realist, and the bird being a dreamer.”

]]>Ella and Pitr met in 2007 and soon started to work together. Their art often revolves around the current social and political issues, but sometimes it’s just fun, playful art with no bigger meaning. They are known for using a limited color palette that covers the colors of the French flag – red, white, and blue.
Most people, when they see these adorable giants, think that Ella and Pitr are a young couple, but they are actually ages 50+ and grandparents! Check out their work below and make sure to follow them on Instagram for more.
