New Mural: "Storm Over the Pool"
For this monumental new piece, I wanted to tell a story in several acts, stretching across the entire length of a unique spot: an abandoned swimming pool turned into an urban adventure stage.
"Storm Over the Pool" brings together colorful characters: a mischievous old captain, a boss-like octopus from the deep, a clever pirate parrot, and a few subtle nods to the world of hidden treasures.
Along the wall, my MRKOB lettering evolves and transforms into waves of color: from deep ocean blues to fiery oranges, golden yellows to touches of mossy green. Each section is crafted like a chapter of this narrative mural, with water effects, movement, and splashes that naturally link the scenes together.
The background, worked in textured shades of blue and black, gives the whole piece a marine and mysterious dimension, reinforcing the feeling of a secret exploration, between dream and piracy.
With "Storm Over the Pool", I wanted to remind that graffiti can also become a giant book: an adventure to read, to feel, and to experience while walking along the wall.
Thanks to everyone who takes the time to explore this piece from end to end, to smile at the characters, and to keep supporting this endless creative journey.
