Optical illusion chosen as the best work of urban art in France

This stunning fresco painted on a staircase in the French seaside town of Boulogne-sur-Mer was recently crowned France's most beautiful piece of street art in 2020. The optical illusion which is called 'Passage' was created by Spanish artist Gonzalo Borondo last summer. According to Abid Amziane, director of the city's street art festival, the work represents the allegory of life. "The first time you see a closed door, you might think that in life everything is closed. But as you climb each step, you reach stages, such as consciousness, or free will. And at the seventh and final level, you understand that life has just begun, and that you must never give up," Amziane said. Translated with www.DeepL.com/… (free version)
