Styria has much to offer, and its lush landscapes served as the inspiration behind this mural. Created by Tom Lohner with strong support from Lewis Blake, the artwork acts as a vibrant green welcome portal into the city of Graz. The project was realized in cooperation with Region Graz, “zur Schmiedn,” and Steiermark Tourismus.
The mural captures the intersection where modern architecture meets UNESCO cultural heritage, all set against a backdrop of vineyards, iconic pumpkins, and the renowned Dachstein mountain region. At its heart stands Graz’s emblematic clocktower, the Uhrturm, flanked by the words “Willkommen in Graz” – “Welcome to Graz.”
