One of the eye-catchers of “The Crystal Ship” first edition ever (2016) was definitely the large scale mural painted by the Belgian muralist ROA. ROA is primarily known for his strong obsession for animals and rodents. He often combines life, death, and life after death in his murals, which quickly distinguishes him amongst traditional muralists. His animals are painted to include skeleton and internal organs, making the sight even more realistic. ROA’s fantastic murals can be found all around the world, including locations such as London, New York, Berlin, Warsaw, Madrid, Moscow, Los Angeles, Mexico City and Paris.

Love ROA! I saw his wolf in Rome a few years ago and it blew me away. As I discover other pieces, I’m continually astonished. Thanks for featuring ROA, Stef!
