8 Guido Van Helten Mural on Heimaey in Westman Islands, Iceland

If you appreciate good murals, then stroll around the Heimaey Harbour to find several excellent pieces of outdoor art. This one was painted by Australian-born street artist Guido Van Helten. His specialty is rendering realistic faces from vintage photos from the Reykjavík Museum of Photography and similar sources. The genre has been called “hyperrealist portraits.” This is an image of local woman Halla Svavarsdóttir. More of Guido’s street art decorates Reykjavík plus major cities in other countries.
