Street Artist Hunto Paints Portraits in Colour on the Streets of Kingston
The Italian-born, London-based artist Hunto has unveiled his latest mural for the Kingston Street Art Festival. Known for his bold use of cubist forms and kaleidoscopic colour, Hunto brings the language of modernism into the streets, transforming walls into living talking canvases.

A Festival of Faces
This new mural is shared under the theme ‘portraits’, a reminder that for Hunto, the human figure remains central. Faces and bodies are fractured, reassembled, and bathed in saturated tones, recalling the influence of Picasso and Braque while remaining unmistakably his own. The mural does not depict a single individual but rather a chorus of humanity, an urban portrait gallery.

Colour as Emotion
Hunto’s strength lies in his ability to turn form into feeling. The sharp geometry of his lines contrasts with the warmth of his palette, creating a tension that is at once dynamic and harmonious. In Kingston, his new mural radiates energy into the public space, engaging passersby with a rush of colour and rhythm.
