Dulk Paints 'Where the Forest Sings' Mural for BLINK 2026 in Cincinnati
For BLINK 2026, Spanish street artist Dulk painted a mural named Where the Forest Sings at 116 Findlay Street in Cincinnati's Over-the-Rhine area. This artwork depicts a musician with a bird mask, alongside a wildcat, an owl, squirrels, beetles, and amphibians, all surrounded by trees that appear to have watchful eyes. Utilizing brushes and rollers, the mural showcases autumn hues and the connection between music and nature. BLINK 2026 took place from October 8–11, featuring temporary light installations and enduring murals. Dulk's artistic focus on ecology is evident in his 2025 Mediterraneus mural in Valencia, which emphasized marine biodiversity, as well as in his earlier works like Lost & Found in Sicily and a Sea Walls mural in Churchill, Canada. Additionally, he crafted a sculpture for The Crystal Ship 2024 in Oostende.
