Large-format paintings, often incredibly colorful, through which art moves from galleries to the street, allow us to observe the rhythm of the city, presenting its history and development over the years. On the streets of Katowice, we can see works inspired by the art of Waldemar Świerzy, an outstanding Polish poster artist (a mural depicting John Baildon, author: Camej, at the corner of Gliwicka and Bocheńskiego streets), illustrations by Jean Giraud (a mural painted for the Intel Extreme Masters tournament, author: Mona Tusz, 1 Maja 53 street), or the works of the local Janowska Group (Kutz on a Pony, author: Camej, Wypoczynkowa 3 street).
We invite you to take a walk through Katowice along the street art trail.
The first mural featuring Wojciech Korfanty was created in 2018 on the wall of a tenement house at Reja Street 6. Its unveiling took place on October 25th, marking the 100th anniversary of a pivotal speech Korfanty delivered as a Reichstag Member of Parliament, in which he advocated for Upper Silesia's reintegration with Poland. The mural depicted Wojciech Korfanty based on an archival black-and-white photograph. The previous rendition of the Silesian politician was defaced with white paint on the night of December 20-21, 2024. The new mural was completed in September 2025. Both the original and the new mural were created by artist Wojtek Walczyk.
