Mirrors Georgetown was what attracted us to visit Penang last weekend. A street art project created by young international artist Ernest Zacharevic, the project consists of 6 wall murals placed within the core heritage zone of Georgetown.
I loved that the artist picked weathered buildings as canvases for his works. These walls with their peeling paint and exposed bricks added incredible character and depth to his whimsical and delightful murals. The clever use of objects as part of the art piece also brought the paintings alive.

Very cool! My favorites are the girl lifting herself up on the window awnings and the last photo of the little boy standing on the chair.
I love the little boy standing on the chair too! When I first saw the little girl, I thought how adorable. But when I took a closer look, I thought she looked a little scary. It was the eyes I think. Plus I watch way too many zombie and scary movies! 😀
Thanks for sharing this wonderful street art. I am a great fan of it.
BE ENCOURAGED! BE BLESSED!
Thanks Francine! I’m a fan of street art too – these artists have so much talent!
These are just charming. Love them!
Me too! There are 12 murals in total and the artist has completed these 6. I can’t wait for the other 6 to be done! 🙂
I love these, the imagination is quite incredible. 😉
I agree – the imagination and talent to put these together is quite amazing!
These are amazing!!!
Wonderful creativity. I like each of these pictures a lot. You took that first picture so beautifully. Thanks a lot for sharing this art form with us.
Super cool blog!
Wow! Superlative post —
The combination of the artist’s skill and whimsy, the worn facades, and the trompe l’oeil —
a real winner. Congratulations.
