During the Réunion Graffiti Festival, renowned artist SATR unveiled a captivating mural inspired by the island’s breathtaking landscapes. Drawing from Réunion’s crashing waves and fiery volcanoes, the artwork portrays a powerful horse seemingly leaping off the wall with smoke-like contours that evoke both energy and motion. SATR’s expert spray-paint technique, paired with vivid accents of red, creates a visual masterpiece that celebrates the raw beauty of nature and the island’s untamed spirit.
Reflecting on her experience, SATR expressed her admiration for Réunion’s natural splendor and the people she met: “The crashing waves and striking volcanoes took my breath away. I’ll always remember its pristine beauty and the amazing people I met here.” This deep connection to the island’s environment is evident in her work, which blends bold Western graffiti with the delicate elegance of traditional Eastern ink painting.
Based in Guangzhou, SATR has been a prominent force in street art since 2013, known for her signature atomization spray technique that gives her animal subjects their ethereal, smoky appearance. Her murals often incorporate ancient seal-engraved signatures, a nod to her cultural roots. By merging tradition and modernity, SATR’s work on Réunion Island highlights the boundless possibilities of art to honor nature’s majesty while showcasing human creativity.
