A story of colourful adventure
India has a variety of unique places: green cities, economically fast-growing cities, heritage sites, and a network of a vast and magical park or natural sites…A comfortable public space makes the main cities of the country, unique places among all the others, where citizens enjoy spending time.
India’s painting scene, over the history, is also a major aspect of Indian culture, with worldwide known artists such as Sayed RAZA and a variety of pictorial traditions that remain part of contemporary Indian society. Its artists are recognized through their originality, the respect of tradition and its unique identity for the storytelling, painting, and colourful aspects.
The previous editios of Wall Art Festival mobilized hundreds of people in each of the 12 cities where it took place. A varied, eclectic (students, families, curious, passionate…), mixed and intergenerational public. From small children, through teenagers to grandparents, everyone gathered and enjoyed a moment of exchange and sharing. While travelling through the country, new experiences and collaborations will be created, inspired by each meeting. They will contribute, with Indian artists and students, to make India always more shiny !
Each city preserves the traces of the passage of the Wall Art festival, redrawing the cities, by its colours and its stories.
We have developed local and national media coverage, contributing to the success of the influence of the cities, the artists, and bringing pride to the inhabitants!

About our Artists
Sandre is a Breton artist based in Paris, France, whose work lies at the intersection of urban and technological practices. After studying animation, she ventured off the beaten path and sought to showcase her art for all to see by creating murals in the streets of Paris as well as in numerous countries such as Cambodia, Vietnam, and Belgium.
She also creates mappings for events and animations on immersive devices, such as at the Atelier des Lumières in Paris.
Her style is situated on the border between naive, surreal, and ironic narration, composed of cartoonish characters that are highly colorful and nuanced. Working on large-scale curves allows her the freedom to fully express her movements while bringing her various characters to life.
Super Bab, born in 1993, he created his first graffiti at the age of 13. In the following years, he honed his graffiti techniques and explored other avenues such as painting, drawing, watercolor, printmaking, and ceramics.
While studying at the Beaux-Arts in Paris, he learned better academic techniques and developed his drawing skills as well as his personal style.
Starting with a conventional drawing, he adds an abstract touch, particularly influenced by famous surrealist paintings such as those by Miró and Picasso. He also incorporates elements from outsider art and tribal art.
Aashti Miller is an architect, illustrator and graphic designer. She was born and raised in Mumbai, and studied Architecture at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York.
She is the sole force behind MillerInk, an illustration and graphic design studio. She constructs her drawings in an attempt to make sense of the unexpected collision of her two seemingly disparate worlds.
As a result, her aesthetic and style have evolved into detailed drawings that tread the fine line between constructed and painted, digital and analog, two and three dimensional. Her work is heavily inspired by and explores spaces, places, and faces.
Jace started out as a street painter. For years, after starting at the age of eleven by repainting his bike in shimmering vermillion red, he traveled around the island of La Réunion and put his name up everywhere, influenced by the hip-hop movement and lowbrow art, although he considers himself free from any particular influence.
As a street artist, he was critical of his own work, feeling that it was not personal or identifiable enough. So he created a partner, a teammate who became a legend before his creator: the Gouzou.
