This year, 13 artists from around the globe came together to create new murals and ephemeral street installations.

As usual, NeSpoon connected with a local lace maker to gain inspiration for her mural.

The piece depicts the Scottish thistle, the country’s national flower.

For their enormous mural titledAn Ending, A Beginning, SNIK hand-cut nearly 400 feet of stencils.

Other notable works include a colorful mural by Brazilian artistThiago Mazza.

Using his skills, he transformed a drab parking structure into a fresh botanical garden.

This year’s festival was built around the theme of rewilding.

Where personal freedom and transgressive acts have now been replaced by permission and commissions.

NuArt Aberdeen is now in its sixth year.
