French street artist Mr. C (Julien Seth Malland) has been traveling the world since 2003, integrating into local life and creating works filled with local beauty. This time, he was invited to Taiwan to paint murals at three elementary schools in Hsinchu, Taitung, and Hualien, aiming to depict the beautiful scenery of Taiwan's traditional culture.

Mr. C has traveled the world for many years, drawing much of his creative inspiration from local residents and children. His works not only showcase the unique features of each place but also exude a strong sense of humanistic care. He often paints on ordinary street walls or on crumbling ruins of buildings that are slated for demolition or relocation. After living and interacting with locals, he transforms those experiences into creative inspiration, blending stories into the artwork. This allows his sincere pieces to merge with reality, offering a genuine glimpse of the land.
Imaginative works that convey a rich sense of local cultural spirit. (Image source / Color, Way of Love 为爱上色)
