The fantastic painter and muralist ARTEZ creates huge artworks at lofty heights in Belgrade and around the whole world. His motifs often show people in everyday situations including creative abstractions that blend vibrant imagery with narrative depth.

On the banks of the Danube in Belgrade is a former factory with monumental silos at a height of 28 meters, the so called SILOSI. The building complex is constructed like honeycombs and consists of a total of 64 cells, but work was stopped many years ago and the site has lain fallow ever since. This landmark of brutalist architecture has been given a new lease of life thanks to the GAIA POKRET movement with several creative spaces, but the highlight are certainly the large murals that have gradually been painted in the lofty heights.
