Street Art Anna Conda "Coulée verte"

The street art you see here is the work of Anna Conda, a Russian-born artist who established her practice in Paris after studying at the Sorbonne. She is known for bringing a mystical and poetic quality to urban spaces, often focusing on themes of nature and human connection to the environment. These murals along the Coulée verte were commissioned as part of a dedicated art project aimed at transforming the functional elements of this elevated park into canvases. While the path itself serves as a green artery built over an abandoned railway line, Anna Conda’s contributions, such as her depictions of figures resting amidst flora or birds in flight, are meant to harmonize with the surrounding greenery. She often targets unconventional surfaces like elevator shafts and tunnel entrances, turning necessary infrastructure into moments of visual storytelling that reflect the park's tranquil, semi-hidden atmosphere.
