I completed this bridge in Saint-André-lez-Lille in the North of France. I was asked to make the bridge more visible because many trucks have been hitting it due to drivers not paying attention. Hopefully this will prevent vehicles from being beheaded, but more importantly I'm glad that the locals are loving it. Their neighbourhood desperately needed some art! Thank you to the locals for their welcome! This was painted using spray paint and a broom. No stencils (I say this because people often ask me), no masking tape, no rulers. Freehand spraying only. . #streetart #saitandrelezlille #MEL #lille #nord #pont #bridge #arteurbano #arte #contemporaryart #urbznart #sebtoussaint #patterns #design #colours @standre59350

Rafif chose the word الحياة which means "life" in arabic. Rafif is 11 years old and has a whole life ahead of her. She hopes that somehow it will be good, and that Palestinians will be able to live in peace. She doesn't know what that will look like but she wants it badly. I tried putting all those positive vibes into my peice by adding some movement and energy. I've known Rafif for a year and a half and she's just so sweet and generous with everyone. It's unusual for me to paint for people I already know! . @beyondusnonprofit #streetart #mural #exemple #patterns #painting #palestine #balatarefugeecamp #refugee #refugeecamp #urbanart #ShareTheWordProject #art #life

Mahmood chose the word "قدوة" which means "exemple" . His word is dedicated to his father who is an exemple to him and his siblings. His father, Abu Ahmed works hard to provide for his 6 children and does everything he can to send them to university, hoping that their future will be outside the refugee camp. But on top of this he has always been very clear with his kids, forbidding them to get anywhere near guns, makeshift bombs and M16s. (Picture with Mohamad, Mahmood's neighbour.) . @beyondusnonprofit #streetart #mural #exemple #patterns #painting #palestine #balatarefugeecamp #refugee #refugeecamp #urbanart #ShareTheWordProject #art #sebtoussaint #cooperation #refugees
