Several street art murals on walls, each showing a human face (or heads portrayed) with large, lush clusters of flowers arranged above or around the head, as though the flowers form a crown or halo. The styles vary: some faces are realistic, others stylised; some murals use muted tones, others vivid and saturated colours. The flowers are diverse in type: large blossoms, small petals, leaves, vines — some appear to cascade, others stand upright. In many murals, the flower-crowns contrast with the texture of the wall: cracks, bricks, concrete showing through paint. Light and shadow in the murals give volume to both the faces and the floral arrangements. The compositions emphasise the head and crown: faces often framed centrally, sometimes turned slightly, so that the botanical crown is a focal point. The style is both decorative and symbolic: flowers suggest beauty, nature, perhaps growth or flourishing; the juxtaposition of plant and portrait hints at connection between humanity and nature. Paint strokes, layering, and colour blending vary — some artists use sharp outlines for the petals, others soft blending. Overall mood: celebratory, uplifting, whimsical, with floral vibrancy meeting urban grit.
