Praga Murals

Goose by Diego Miedo

(2012) Brzeska 14A

Added at a time when the city was counting down to the European Football Championships, Diego Miedo’s project aimed to show local kids that rather than loitering around the gates of the National Stadium, they could do something actually useful with their time – as such, dozens of schoolchildren helped the artist realise this work.

Man’s Fate by Twożywo & Farbfieber

(2010) Radzyminska 150

This Polish-German collaboration was realised to mark 20 years of partnership between Warsaw and Dusseldorf. Showing a suited wolf leading a lamb by the hand, its interpretation has been the source of hot debate –and as a result, has been praised by several people for doing exactly what public art should strive to do.

Hole in the Whole by 1010

(2015) Mackiewicza 1

Though peeling and in a generally desperate state of disrepair, many profess this to be their favourite Warsaw mural – it’s certainly intellectually stimulating / baffling. Painted by the acclaimed Hamburg street artist 1010, it shows a hole disappearing inside a series of larger holes. Explaining his work, 1010 says: “the hole gives us a chance to leave the periphery and enter something new – but what? Exactly.”

Woman’s Head by Tankpetrol

(2021) Kowieńska 21

Painted by a Manchester-based Polish artist, Woman’s Head peers over shabby Kowieńska in an image of dignified defiance. “Women and their world of emotions fascinate me,” says the artist.

Collapse by Cyrcl Collective

(2014)

Radzymińska 140

Painted by a Malmo art collective, Collapse shows the ruins of an ancient column on a dark background adorned with patterns that symbolise war.

Moonlight Wolf by M-City

(2020)

Środkowa 21

The author of hundreds of murals, Moonlight Wolf was created by M-City, a lecturer at the Academy of Fine Arts better-known to his students as Dr. Mariusz Waras. Paying homage to one of this extra-curricular passions, it depicts an off-road rally car being chased by a mechanical wolf.

The Little Prince by Magdalena Rytel

(2017)

Rajgrodzka 13

Though painted by Magdalena Rytel of the Wallart group, it was designed by high school student Julia Boraczewska as part of a community action. Quite surreal, it shows the Little Prince and friends perched on cosmic planets.
