Throughout central Bucharest, several electrical substations have been turned into canvases for quirky, unexpected urban art. Artists have painted scenes like a bright red Dacia 1300, cartoon characters, and sea creatures, adapting their work cleverly to the small, boxy structures. These murals bring playful color and creativity to everyday infrastructure, creating delightful visual surprises in residential neighborhoods. 

Though modest in size, they make a big impact, showing how street art can thrive in even the most utilitarian corners of the city. These tiny murals encourage passersby to pay attention to urban detail and appreciate the artistic potential of forgotten spaces. They’re excellent examples of neighborhood-level revitalization through micro-art.
