Snails

In 2013, during the Lagos Urban Art Festival, ROA made his mark in the Algarve city with his urban art painting titled "Snails." The painting features two snails, which are a common presence in Lagos' environment, as well as a delicacy that locals love. ROA created a realistic representation of the snails, in black and white. ROA's detailed technique gives the snails a vivid and curious presence, as if they are looking at the world around them.

ROA is a Belgian urban artist who has been making his mark all over the world. With a unique and unmistakable style, ROA is known for his large-scale animal paintings, which often depict species native to the region where he is creating his art. His painting in Lagos represents one of the most emblematic animals of the region, the snail, as it is a local delicacy. His work in Lagos is a perfect example of his ability to create something beautiful and meaningful from a blank wall.
