Imagine coming home from a long trip and… not being able to find it. This might happen if you lived in one of the buildings that got touched by this talented French street artist Patrick Commecy. He creates enormous murals of hyper-realistic facades with his team that bring blank and boring city walls to life.
Patrick Commecy often paints many notable people from the history of the town the mural is in. Interestingly, while these realistic yet fake facades trick you at first glance, some people painted there were once real. Can you spot any of them?
