One Wall - Nantes 🥎🤍

Funny how certain projects end up marking the beginning of a whole new chapter. This One Wall court in Nantes was one of those, ✨kicking off a big cycle for me last year.

Set on the island near Quai Wilson, this is the second One Wall court in France; an Active Design initiative promoting movement through play, sport, and perspective. Where color meets energy and activity, and art meets community💕

Massive love to @studio_katrafor the invitation, the trust, and the professionalism and good vibes from day one. Truly grateful.

And of course, big thanks to all the amazing collaborators who made this project flow so smoothly @samoanantessupported by @decathlonfoundation , @dbfnantes , @nantesfr , and nantes-metropole.

A real pleasure from start to finish. You know those rare projects where everything just clicks? That.✨

🎥 This is just the first glimpse 👀more visuals from this one coming soon.

🎙️ Carla Schoppel: OCU este o artistă vizuală care pare să fi învățat limbajul formelor direct de la natură. Născută în inima Transilvaniei, într-un mediu rural unde râurile și stâncile au fost primele sale pânze, OCU și-a construit treptat un univers artistic fluid, la granița dintre organic și urban, dintre emoție și reflecție. Pentru ea, arta nu este o categorie, ci o stare de a fi, un proces continuu de transformare și redescoperire a sensului.

De peste doisprezece ani, OCU lucrează cu o varietate de medii: picturi murale, instalații, ilustrații, art directing, pânze. Lucrările ei refuză definițiile rigide și propun mai degrabă o deschidere: aceea de a privi viața prin prisma artei, ca printr-un filtru al sensibilității și al cunoașterii intuitive. Am stat de vorbă cu OCU despre această dimensiune vie a artei sale, despre echilibru și despre experiența sa recentă în cadrul rezidenței Artist on the Go, un program-pilot de schimb cultural dedicat artei urbane, implementat de Asociația buchARTest și co-finanțat de Institutul Cultural Român prin Programul Cantemir.

Installationen, Murals, Illustrationen, Leinwände 🫟
 
Wir freuen uns auf ein Mural – prominent platziert, direkt neben unserer Nest-Bühne!
Die Arbeiten von OCU sind eine Erweiterung ihrer selbst. Sie zu definieren, würde ihrem Potential nicht gerecht werden. Ihr Motto: Wenn wir das Leben durch Kunst betrachten, können wir neu denken, neu fühlen, neu gestalten.

Last year I got to draw the stage for @summerhills.ro .ro , a festival built by friends, for friends, somehow held together by love, music and good chaos.

Still feels surreal knowing so many artists I genuinely admire danced and played on top of one of my drawings.❤️

Happy to be part of the platform again this year. See you on the hills 🌞

Last year during @streetwise.ro , I painted this little mural.
Calm, exposed, unbothered, while the world burns.
A skin mapped like Mother Earth, watching ifself collapse and regenerate at the same time.
Long snake-like extensions that see, feel, stay alert…because even relaxation today comes with awareness.
This mural is about the impossible paradoxwe live in….beauty and horror, tenderness and violence, hope and exhaustion…all at once.
The characters posture carries strength without tension, softness without fragility,inspired by the presence and attitude of an @lizzobeeating photoshooting. ❤️‍🔥

These shapes keep coming back to me. 🪱
Cylinders, rounded shapes, snake like figures…not as a new idea, but as a constant one.
I return to them from different perspectives, drawn to their softness and continuous movement.
Sometimes it feels like a memory from another life, rather than a choice. ☁️✨

The first image is AI-animated, a way of translating how these forms move in my mind, even when the final work remains static.

UPS AND DOWNS… literally and figuratively.
The elevator mirror has seen more than the feed.
Slowly returning with what quietly accumulated over time.✨🫠

What if peace didn’t mean stillness, but rhythm? What if blood didn’t mean violence, but memory?

The work “Pace of Peace”, created by Romanian artist @ocuvisualartist reclaims menstrual blood as more than biology. A planetary ritual. A resistance. A rhythm.

Something that doesn’t erupt, but flows. That doesn’t silence, but pulses.
That doesn’t conquer, but remembers.

Challenging old hierarchies of purity and control, the work honors one of the body’s most ancient and misunderstood rhythms: menstruation. It proposes a new cosmology of care, where peace isn’t sterile or imposed, but cyclical, lived, embodied.

This is a politics of pace. A refusal of urgency. A call to trust what flows rather than what dominates. Pace of Peace draws not with borders, but with breath, blood, sensation. Peace is not an absence, but a rhythm the body already knows. Bleeding is not harm, but memory. A world in balance is one that cycles, not wounds.

Now living on the walls of @millerntorgallery, Hamburg, first stop of Artist On The Go.
