Artwork: Mural by PichiAvo, *An Offering to Athens*, Psiri, Greece, 2026

Duo urban artists from Valencia, Spain, PichiAvo, have just created a new mural at Pallados street in Psiri, Greece, titled An Offering to Athens. As so much of their work has been inspired by classical Greek art and mythology, PichiAvo devised a self-produced project to give something back to Athens and the culture and history that has influenced much of their art. The project took two years to make happen, and the result is a stunning mural featuring their signature style of fusing classical art and graffiti. PichiAvo said this about the mural: “According to Greek mythology, Athens was born from a contest between Athena and Poseidon. While he offered salt water, she gave something lasting and protective: the olive tree, a symbol of abundance, peace, and prosperity. The citizens chose Athena, naming the city in her honor, and from this offering comes the inspiration for our first project in Greece.”
