"THE MAN WHO OWNS THE STONE" by Spanish artist Jofre Oliveras @jofre.oliveras at Frederick Street Centre, Frederick Street, Aberdeen, Scotland in June 2022 as part of @nuartaberdeen festival. Photos taken April 2025.
⠀⠀⠀
"Today, nationalism obscures the vision. Borders are increasingly reinforced, preventing cultural exchange and abolishing the perception of everything that does not fall within the region. Isolation worsens and it is more difficult to realize the critical situation that we are facing globally, be it due to the depletion of resources, the migration crisis, or climate change.

It is curious that today we still try to defend the ownership of territory as it belonged to a specific identity. Identifying with nationality is defending the interests of the people who oppress us." @jofre.oliveras June 9, 2022

Hold Fast Hope by British artist duo Laura Perrett and Nik Ellis aka SNIK @snikarts at 15 Ship Row, Aberdeen, Scotland in April 2018 as part of @nuartaberdeen festival. Photos taken April 2025.
⠀⠀⠀
"Titled ‘hold fast hope’ the piece is reminder that the small things in life can have a big effect on you 🙏🏻" @snikarts April 15, 2018

"We drilled loads of details on this one, from colouring all the birds, to the snapped rope at the bottom of her leg, to the little bird sat on the ledge to the left. A super tricky piece to do with stencils, and the Scottish weather, but a result we are happy with." @snikarts April 23, 2018

"They create large scale stencil pieces, often depicting females caught in a moment of extreme movement. The piece in Aberdeen is called 'Hold Fast Hope' and features a girl being dragged into the air by small birds using a piece of rope. To hold fast is to keep strong or to hold on during stormy times. A sailing term, its a nice reference to the harbour location of their mural. Although they use stencils to lay out their pieces they also free hand and add into each piece which gives their work its unique look." aberdeeninspired.com/murals/snik-2018

Unearth by Portuguese artist Alexandre Farto aka Vhils @vhils at 18 Palmerston Road, Aberdeen, Scotland in April 2019 as part of @nuartaberdeen festival. Photos taken April 2025.
⠀⠀⠀
"Vhil's mural was inspired by the story of Aberdonians who fought in the Spanish fascist regime in the 1930's. Vhil was fascinated by this story and delved deep in the history of these 19 men, 5 of which sadly died. The mural depicts two soldiers, American brigadier Peter Fyre on the right and John Londragan of Aberdeen. The story of these brave men and their bond with the Spanish is remarkable. This mural is helping to bring this story to life on the streets of Aberdeen to a new generation. Creating the mural required a lot of physical labour, craving by drilling into the wall to produce lots of detail." https://www.aberdeeninspired.com/murals/vhils-2019

"Huge wanted to come up with a style in mural painting that did not resemble anything created before so he invented the photorealistic helium balloon style. In short, he replaced the traditional graffiti letters with painted helium balloons and has developed a style that has become his hallmark." - Artist website: https://hugeart.se

'”Stairmaster” 2,7 x 2,3m commissioned to motivate people to use the stairs at the head quarters of Vasakronan (a real estate company) in Stockholm. Painted in my studio on 3 MDF-pieces. Mounted at location on the 3rd floor.' @andreasenglundart May 22, 2018

"Technique-wise, I’m drawn to the old masters—Anders Zorn’s my guy, his bold grip on light and shadow. But for ideas, it’s Banksy’s sly, subversive edge, flipping power on its head, or David LaChapelle’s staged, over-the-top worlds that mix the raw and dazzling.... Life’s messy and funny; I just paint it that way." 2025 interview https://culturalee.art/culturalee-in-conversation-with-andreas-englund/
⠀⠀⠀
'What was the inspiration behind the Life of the Superhero series?
I have always been inspired by the human body which led me to the world of greek classic sculpture. From there the ”modern” greek hero – the superhero originated. In my case I wanted to portray the human aspects – not being perfect and the superhero became the natural symbol to dramatize these flaws – since he is suposed to be more or less ”perfect”.
...
He is based on me and my father. He then became more personal to me and through him I can portray my own shortcomings.'
