Fanakapan is a London-based street artist known for his strikingly realistic helium balloon murals. Using spray paint with a mix of chrome effects, he creates 3D illusions that seem to pop off the wall, turning urban environments into whimsical landscapes. Described by the artist as “nostalgia on acid,” Fanakapan’s work often captures a spirit of playfulness and irreverence. A self-taught artist and former prop designer, Fanakapan has painted murals across the world, from his hometown of Dorset, England to New York, Tokyo, and beyond.
