On the Streets of Budapest: Okuda, Neopaint, Hegedűs Márton, Kemény György, VOID, Balogh Attila and qWeRT

March 3, 2024

The streets of Budapest’s seventh district teem with a huge range of urban art. The brightly-hued image featured above — painted by the Spanish artist Okuda San Miguel — is a tribute to the Spanish diplomat Ángel Sanz-Briz, who saved the lives of thousands of  Hungarian Jews during the Second World War. Several more images of public artworks we captured in Budapest follow:
