So far, the artists have colored the district firewalls with the characters of Szaffi, Vuk and the Water Spider.

The design of the Macskafogó painting was inspired by the 1986 movie poster of the popular cartoon, designed by Csaba Szórádi, and was created with the permission of Béla Ternovszky and his co-creator. Graphic work by Simon Forgács (Macskafogo.hu) 0036mark created by street artist and Illés Hajnalka.

The entire painting was painted by 6 artists led by artist Richárd Orosz. All in all, it was completed in 2 months, during which nearly 400 liters of paint were consumed.

Colors Underground – The Iváncsa Underpass Gets a New Lease on Life

Community

For a long time, the underpass at the Iváncsa train station was just another one of those familiar, functional, yet impersonal spaces. A place people pass through but don’t linger in. Today, however, it offers a completely different experience: colors, shapes, and stories accompany travelers along the way. The decoration is not only a visual renewal but also an imprint of a community-oriented vision—the identities of three towns converge here with László Varga’s unique perspective.

Adam Illes – Reflections

His work titled *Reflections*, installed on the wall of Stratford Junction, explores a theme that is both personal and universal: connection. Not an encounter in the superficial sense, but that rare and elusive moment when two people truly see one another.

When Paint Turns to Glass – Glass Angel

Community

Street art is often about quick gestures and raw energy, but there are works that speak more of patience, precision, and a carefully constructed visual experience. CSM’s work titled “Glass Angel” is the final piece in a four-part mural series that not only posed a serious technical challenge but also holds personal significance for the artist. The transparency of the glass symbolizes fragility, the angel represents beauty and love, while the dark and light tones in the background symbolize the duality of the world.
