He also hopes his work will encourage communities to rise above their differences and understanding the interconnectedness of all living things. A tall order, but then again, that’s exactly the kind of power art might have: the power to connect people by instilling a sense of wonder.

“We are all interconnected and even though we’ve created borders and hierarchies in the world we are still one people, a race of explorers in the constant pursuit of perfection,” said Jalea in an interview with Talenthouse. “We have to learn to better help each other.”

Born in Peru and based in Toronto, Jalea takes his message around the world. It was actually during one of his travels that he formulated his positive approach. But his message has also caught onto some commercial brands, with commissions from selected clients like Facebook, Nike, Cirque du Soleil, and the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts.

“I’m not much of a self-promoter,” admitted the London-based artist in an interview with Lecture in Progress. “The large-scale nature of my work has helped in this respect, as it’s like a giant advert for me in a way. Instagram is also helpful, although I have, at times, a tortured relationship with it.”

“I work from my studio above Ridley Road Market in Dalston,” she expounded. “Every day looks different depending on what projects I’ve got on. There’s always a lot of admin and answering emails – that doesn’t change. Sometimes I’ll be planning a mural, sometimes reading and writing as research, sometimes contacting suppliers, sometimes I’ll be outdoors painting a mural, sometimes prepping boards to paint. It’s very varied. I also often travel internationally to paint murals, or to exhibit work abroad.”

With more than 100k followers on Instagram, her hard work clearly paid off. Take a look at some of her creations in the gallery below.

“Growing up in Kazakhstan at my grandparents’ farm, my grandparents would put on records and we would just listen to folktale stories,” she shared with CBC. “I spent a lot of time kind of getting swept away into a different world.”

Rich with symbolism, her murals feature animals, people, architecture, and nature, transforming public realms and outdoor spaces into fantastical settings. “The bigger the wall, the more of a voice it has,” said Volo. “It is an imagined world that I create of Russian and Kazakh and Polish stories, and the minute I started doing the artwork on walls it became larger than me.”

With more than 25 thousand followers on Instagram, and clients like Starbucks, Louis Vuitton, and Volkswagen, Volo’s art is taking over the world one wall at a time.

The Mexican born, California-based artist, originally went to University to study Spanish Literature, before switching to painting. “In my third year of school I took a painting class and enjoyed it so much I decided to drop everything else,” he recalled in an interview with The Design Kids San Francisco. “I dropped out of school and spent the next couple years building up a portfolio to go into art school. I moved to San Francisco in 1996 to go to the San Francisco Art Institute.”

“Drawing and painting were some of the main constants in my life,” admitted Martinez. “They were also a way for me to make connections with new people in new places. That has carried on throughout my life.”
