The Process: From Sketch to Lifelike Artwork

Creating 3D street art is a labor-intensive process that begins with a detailed sketch of the desired illusion. Artists then use mathematical calculations and perspective techniques to determine the correct proportions for the final piece. Once the groundwork is done, they meticulously apply chalk or paint to the pavement, using shading and highlights to bring the illusion to life.

“The Wave Is Coming” by Shozy in Balashikha, Russia

Street Artist Shozy

“The Wave Is Coming” by Shozy for International Mural Festival. You can find the facade at Zheleznodorozhny, Novaya, 7 in Balashikha, Russia.

Shozy (direct translation): This is a 14-story panel house with an illusory end. Distorting and bubbling windows create dissonance with the usual geometry of panels. Some floors glitch apart, adding a digital spice, the seams between the panels bend, creating the base of an illusory form, and the composition is completed by a slit in the sky that devastates the house. Like other works in this series, this façade invites the viewer to look at familiar things from a new point of view, look for aesthetics among painfully familiar elements of the Russian urban landscape and simply be surprised, deceived, but still satisfied.
