This mural was missing from the Subiaco series of "No more Blank Walls", painted in October 2024, as I hadn't photographed the finished mural.
Since going to Subiaco in February with Iris, when she visited from Germany, I managed to take a photo and this series is now complete! By coincidence it is also a mural relevant to the current world situation.
Space of Peace, painted by Wild Drawing, a muralist from Bali, Indonesia, residing in Athens, Greece, at 36 Rowland Street, Subiaco. Painted in November 2024 for "No More Blank Walls" festival.
The artist wrote in his instagram at the time: "With 92 countries currently involved in conflict across their borders (a lot more now 😢) - the highest number since World War II - it is time to recall that real peace is more than the absence of war; it is an absence of the causes of war.

Apologies to those that tried to link their murals: I somehow copied the link of the previous mural, hence it didn't work. All updated now.
...Sami, Space of Peace and "No More Blank Walls" festival sound great to me! Thanks for hosting and I wish you a fabulous new week!
ReplyDeleteThank you Tom. Have a great week too
DeleteI am actually going to go down to Subiaco in a couple of weeks to do the art walk. This is a great mural.
ReplyDeleteThank you Gemel. Loads of great murals in Subiaco :) Have fun
DeleteThat is so good. If only the building looked like the mural.
ReplyDeleteThanks Andrew :)
DeleteO mural é fabuloso, o ser humano é estúpido.
ReplyDeleteBoa semana
Obrigada Pedro. O ser humano nao aprendeu ainda com todas as guerras sem fim!
DeleteAn important mural, Sami, a sad one, too and very well done. I´m way behind! I will also share those I found with Grace or Ingo (the latter in hectic...).. or myself, cause I sometimes went on my own :-) - just for fun!
ReplyDeleteLooking forwards to your mural finds Iris :) Very sad about all the wars going on in the world! Too many inflated egos!!
DeleteSem dúvida que o artista tem muito valor.
ReplyDeleteBoa semana.
Abraço de amizade.

Thanks Rupam. Have a great week.
DeleteYes, that Dove of Peace is definitely giving us the side-eye and saying "WTF, World?"
ReplyDeleteToo true Debra! What is going on around the world, half the countries seem to be in some sort of conflict!
DeleteEvery week I look at those wonderful murals and I ask myself...why can´t I find such artwork here?
ReplyDeleteHave a good time and all the best
Violetta
Thanks Violetta. We are certainly lucky :) Murals are being painted all the time here in Perth.

DeleteSuch a beautiful mural on an equally beautiful building. I like it very much and I love the message.
ReplyDeleteThank you Sharon. Have a great week.
DeleteDear Sami,
ReplyDelete"It is an absence of the causes of war"... is a very true and wise statement! And the mural with the dove of peace, the olive branch, and the architecturally beautiful house (which makes the real building look so much more charming) is a wonderful work by the artist!
All the best, Traude
Thank you Traude. I also liked the artist's statement.
DeleteFantastic mural with great trompe l’oeil!
ReplyDeleteThank you Linda.
DeleteThe lighting on these murals is terrific. they're beautiful and the colors just pop!
