Street artist Hua Tunan paints UAE’s national bird, Dubai 2016

Chinese-born street artist Hua Tunan is fast becoming one of the biggest names on the international street art scenes. Hua fuses his traditional Chinese methods with Western graffiti styles, staying true to his Chinese heritage but with an urban twist.

Hua Tunan was recently invited to Dubai where he skilfully painted the national bird of UAE, the Falcon. Falconry in Arab tradition and culture is of great importance, hence the Falcon can also been seen on the UAE emblem.
