Kyrgyz artist Viktor Tsoy has completed three new murals across Europe as part of his KYZ POWER project. The works were installed in Weert, Netherlands; Szczecin, Poland; and Berlin, Germany.
Why it matters
The murals feature a girl wearing an astronaut helmet, a symbol representing a transition into a new world and the search for new opportunities. This series marks the artist's latest expansion into international public spaces following previous projects in his home country.
The artist completed 3 murals across European cities, building on previous works located in remote areas including a site at 3,600 meters in the Alay Mountains. Each mural follows the project's consistent visual theme of a girl in an astronaut helmet.
