Wojciech Rokosz

Polish muralist Wojciech Rokosz recently enlivened a 1960s housing estate in Krakow with these lovely murals of birds native to the region. When these apartments were built any murals would of course have been political, but Rokosz says he "wanted to go in a different direction." The murals were paid for by the homeowners themselves.

I love such murals. For example, by Natalia Rak in BIałystok:

Or a mural creating an illusion of more houses in my home city:
