Tenerife is known for its volcanic landscapes, black and golden beaches, and charming cities. Beyond its natural beauty, the island also has a vibrant urban art scene.

Since I moved there to open my bed and breakfast Un Jardin al Mar, I let myself be amazed by the works of art that color the walls of the island.

As I walked through the streets, I began to photograph these murals, these graffiti, these often ephemeral but always vibrant artistic expressions.

From small villages to bustling cities, the murals brighten up the walls with stories, emotions and bold drawings. Each piece, whether large or discreet, adds a unique touch to the island’s urban landscape, reflecting both local culture and artistic imagination.
