Dzia, an Antwerp-based muralist with a MA in Fine Arts from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Belgium, has a fondness for painting wild animals, especially birds and foxes.

His murals are painted in a frenetic whirl of eye-catching colour, using bold, geometric lines. His work, which can be spotted in countries like Spain, China and Norway, sees wild animals placed into unnatural environments.

By adding tonal shading to his more recent pieces he’s managed to create definition and volume within each figure.

Mizuki Tanaka, Japan’s first female sento (public bathhouse) mural artist, wants to keep the art of sento crafting alive in an age where it has lost popularity.

“Local bathhouse murals tend to be thought of as old-fashioned,” she says. “And now it’s come full circle,” with the younger generation seeing these murals as retro.

Sento paintings typically feature traditional imagery of Japanese landscapes, including the iconic Mount Fuji.

“My role as a sento painter is to make you feel like you’re travelling to other places,” says Mizuki. “When I finish, I feel happy about creating a new world on the wall.”

Take a closer look at Mizuki’s creations in the above clip.
