French street artist Zabou returns to London Mural Festival for a new large-scale work.

Specialising in realistic portraits in black and white, Zabou’s work skilfully captures the expressions and emotions of her subjects, drawing inspiration from everyday life, stories, and the surrounding environment. She travels and paints to make the world a more colourful place, having completed more than 250 murals across 23 countries worldwide, from Indonesia to the USA and throughout Europe.

Zabou takes photographs of her subjects, focusing on their expressions and emotions. Working with spray paint, she transforms them into striking large-scale black-and-white portraits, often set against vibrant landscapes. Her art revolves around contemporary and universal topics, exploring the essence of humanity and beyond.

Zabou dedicates time to her studio practice and has showcased her work in France and the UK, including multiple exhibitions at London’s Saatchi Gallery.
