# Mysterious Figure Street Art This Street Mural in Istanbul Features a Vibrant Hooded Character By Lacey-Jane Walsh | Published 2013-06-20 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/street-mural References: [inspirefirst](http://www.inspirefirst.com/2013/06/19/inti-mural-istanbul-turkey/) & [whudat.de](http://www.whudat.de/streetart-inti-new-mural-in-istanbul-turkey-8-pictures/) This vibrantly colored street mural by artist INTI was recently completed in Istanbul for an annual mural festival held there. This eye-catching mural features bright colors like purple, yellow and red to grab the attention of passersby. The mysterious hooded character seen in this lively intriguing street art is a recurring part of INTI's works. In fact, this hooded man is known as INTI's signature character. This brightly dressed mystery man's mouth is covered. Only his eyes and nose are visible to viewers. In this piece he is sitting at a [dinner table](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dish-pics), gripping an apple close to his chest. He is wearing a red shirt, with a yellow hood over top and some kind of a purple face wrap underneath that. This stunning street mural injects color and interest into this otherwise boring building. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.1/10 - Popularity: 56% | Activity: 58% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Graffiti](https://www.trendhunter.com/graffiti) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Vibrant Street Art:** There is an opportunity for artists and entrepreneurs to create more vibrant and colorful street art with unique signature characters. - **Mural Festivals:** There is a chance for event organizers and sponsors to create more mural festivals to showcase the vibrant street art culture. - **Mystery Figures:** There is a possibility for artists and marketers to incorporate mysterious characters as part of their brand identity. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Art:** There is an opportunity for the art industry to embrace street art and its vibrant nature. - **Tourism and Event Management:** There is a chance for the tourism and event management industry to create more mural festivals and showcase street art culture. - **Branding and Marketing:** There is potential for marketers and branding professionals to use mysterious signature characters in their campaigns to grab attention and create intrigue. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Statement Street Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surreal-street-art-1.md) - [Enigmatic Graffiti Incidents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/enigmatic-graffiti.md) - [Bubblegum Street Art Buildings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hubbabubbabuilding.md) - [Artful Suspended Fashion Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/invisible-figures.md) - [Glowing Movie Campaign Murals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-mural.md) - [Distorted Furniture Street Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/first-kiss-at-last-light.md) - [Food-Inspired Street Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dish-pics.md) - [Graffiti Ski Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elho-x-andr-saraiva.md) - [Tiled Restaurant Interior Murals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cozinha-das-flores.md)
