Norway Oslo Colorful Graffiti On Old Brick Building Urban Street Art Photography | Limited Edition of 10
When I first walked past this wall in Oslo, I had to stop and just breathe it in for a moment. Years of paint, tags, throw-ups, and characters climb over the old brick like a living skin. The windows are stained, barred, and partly broken, catching little reflections of the street while the graffiti pushes right up against the glass. It’s the kind of surface that tells you a neighbourhood has a long memory and a lot of voices.
In this photograph you’re looking straight at the façade, almost like a mural within a mural. A bright red and orange graffiti piece stretches across the bottom, its shapes twisting into faces and patterns. Above it, dense line work in blues and whites weaves around the windows, while bold green letters shout from the centre of the frame. Small tags and scribbles fill every gap. Even the balcony on the right is wrapped in colour, adding another layer of geometry and story.
The light here is soft daylight, the kind of overcast northern sky that keeps the colours rich without harsh shadows. It lets you see the details: flaking brick, streaks of moss and grime, drip marks from years of rain running through spray paint. That contrast between decaying architecture and fresh paint is what drew me in. It’s chaotic, but there’s a strange order in the way the artists have stacked their marks over time.
I created this photograph on location in Oslo, spending time lining up the composition so the windows, balcony, and graffiti all lock together into one tight frame. This isn’t a studio setup or a digital collage—it’s a real wall in a real city, captured exactly as I found it. For me, that authenticity matters. When you hang this on your wall, you’re not just buying a design; you’re bringing home a slice of an urban story that actually exists out there in the world.
Each print is personally signed by me and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity, so you know it comes directly from my own time in the streets with the camera. If you’re looking for bold, contemporary wall art that brings colour, texture, and city energy into your space, this piece was made for that role.
If you’re drawn to layered, high-energy street scenes like this, you might also enjoy Colorful Graffiti Collage Wall Art.

Limited Edition of 10
This photograph is released as a signed and numbered limited edition of only 10 prints in total across all available sizes combined—not 10 prints in each size.
Every size is drawn from the same edition. Whether the photograph is purchased as a small print or at the largest available size, it uses one of the 10 edition numbers.
I personally sign and number each print on the reverse, and every print is accompanied by a signed Certificate of Authenticity recording its title, dimensions, medium, edition number, and date of issue.
Once all 10 prints have been sold, the edition will be permanently closed. No additional numbered editions of the photograph will be produced in another size or format.
Premium Archival Fine Art Prints
I personally produce every photograph using archival pigment inks on premium archival paper with a subtle luster finish.
The paper provides rich tonal depth, excellent fine-detail reproduction, and a refined surface that reduces distracting glare under normal indoor lighting. It is especially well suited to both color and black-and-white photography.
Each photograph is sold as an unframed fine art print, allowing it to be framed according to the collector’s space and personal style.
Before a print leaves my studio, I carefully inspect it for color, tonal accuracy, surface quality, and overall presentation. Nothing is outsourced, and every finished print passes through my hands.
Worldwide Delivery Included
Every print is personally produced, inspected, signed, numbered, and carefully packaged by me at my studio in Haliburton, Ontario, Canada.
Worldwide delivery is included in the listed price, so there is no additional shipping charge added during checkout. I select an appropriate tracked delivery service based on the destination, print size, and current shipping requirements.
Delivery times vary by destination and may be affected by customs processing or circumstances beyond my control.
Because I also travel extensively to create new photographic work, studio dispatch may occasionally be delayed while I am away. When that happens, the print will be produced and shipped as soon as I return to the studio.
