Penang Street Art (Ernest Zacharevic’s Murals)

Penang’s famous street arts or wall murals by Ernest Zacharevic were recently repainted by the artist himself.

Ernest Zacharevic’s murals usually feel alive, capturing the heart and soul of the streets where they live. Found mostly in Penang, Malaysia, his art brings moments of joy and nostalgia, often featuring children in playful, everyday scenes. What makes his work so special is how it blends with the surroundings—sometimes incorporating real objects like a bicycle or a motorbike, making it feel like the characters could step into our world. His murals tell stories of local culture and life in a way that’s warm, inviting, and unforgettable, turning simple walls into windows of imagination.
