Hope

Painted across the wall of an underpass in Amsterdam Nieuw-West, this mural bursts with dynamic blocks of color and sharp geometric lines. Bold yellows, reds, blues, and pinks intersect at unexpected angles, creating a composition that feels both chaotic and harmonious. The rhythm of the shapes gives the impression of music translated into visual form, a symphony of optimism on brick.

Created by Spanish artist Kenor, Hope is part of his signature style, where abstraction and vibrant colours come together to evoke energy and positivity. Inspired by electronic music, his works often feel like visual scores—where every line and color represents a note or beat.

In this urban setting, the mural brings light and vitality to an otherwise ordinary wall. True to its title, Hope transforms the space into a message of resilience and forward movement, inviting passersby to see the city not as static, but as a place alive with rhythm and possibility.

Kenor (Barcelona) emerged from the vibrant graffiti scene of the 1990s, channeling the city’s colours, rhythms and chaotic energy into bold abstract compositions. Rooted in the ethics of graffiti and muralism, he has pushed his style into innovative territory, becoming one of Europe’s pioneers of “Abstract Graffiti” alongside artists like Delta, Honet and Foe. Kenor’s work spans trains, sculptures, video pieces and large-scale installations, all driven by his desire to transform urban space and spark dialogue between the city and its inhabitants. His dynamic, polyrhythmic visual language has led him to international exhibitions, including the landmark Graffuturism show in Los Angeles and his acclaimed Polyrhythmic Beats exhibition in Paris. From painting a full metro train in Kyiv to collaborating with Formula 1 driver Felipe Massa, Kenor continues to expand the boundaries of urban abstraction, proving that movement, colour and sound can all be painted into the pulse of a city.
