If you’ve been to Berlin, the chances are you’ve seen BLU’s work. His murals are both visually striking and on a massive scale.

These pieces on Cuvrystrasse in Kreuzberg are visible from the Oberbaumbrücke and impossible to miss if you’re taking a boat trip along this part of the Spree.

BLU hails from Bologna in Italy and has been honing his street art since 1999.  He has travelled extensively and his paintings have adorned walls in Central and South America and the West Bank as well as numerous locations across Europe.

All of the pieces I have seen in Berlin have been in Kreuzberg.

You can see more of BLU’s work on his website and Facebook page and you should check out this incredible video of the artist at work on one of the Cuvrystrasse pieces.
