A simple geometrical mural evokes the Ancient Egyptian pyramids. Open the door, and enter a second mural, this time of a magical forest with branches protruding in three dimensions. This detailed multi-room mural uses the architecture of a 150-year-old building in Jerusalem as the setting for a breathtaking 3D installation. Kobi Vogman, a muralist and animation artist, created this mural for Jerusalem art collective Bait Rek’s underground squat art factory, HaMiffal, which translates from Hebrew as “factory.”

By incorporating three-dimensional branches in his mural, using a lamp as the moon, and painting incredibly realistic windows, Vogman creates an integrated mural which comes alive in its surrounding. Rather than simply using a wall as a canvas, Vogman works with this particular building to compliment it and expand upon it. He also made a timelapse video of the creation of his mural, which you can watch below.
