02. The Doja Wall Mural

Painted by Francis Sling, this is the largest Mural on the island, and it photographs beautifully. Francis' goal was to create a bouquet of flowers that would uplift your spirits and cheer up your day as you walked by. The mural can be photographed any time of day...Note the ‘Popcorn’ kernel exploding in the upper left corner - that is Francis’ trademark. Visit his workshop/gallery in Scharloo.

04. The Rustiq Wall Mural

This beautiful mural painted by Bagira Tizraoui, located in the open-air Rustiq Restaurant, is a fave for Instagramers. The wait staff is accustomed to moving out of the way to give good angle. Bagira’s gallery is about a hundred meters past the Mural, through Kura Hulanda archway. Stop in to see more of her vibrant art and take a snap of the brightly colored mural outside.

05. Family Life Wall Mural

This giant wall mural tells a complex story, with lots of room to frame yourself within it. It’s best to shoot it before 10 AM - or late afternoon, as the sun tends to flare out your lens at other times. Photo By: @TJScottPictures Otra Guide: @Otra.Guide
