Anthea Missy is a French born artist based in Brussels who rose to prominence for her vibrant street art and muralism starting in 2014. Her work is characterized by a distinctive fusion of organic patterns and minimalist color palettes, often featuring black, white, red, and turquoise. Heavily influenced by Japanese pop culture and the concept of Kawaii, her pieces frequently showcase playful, anima like characters that evoke a sense of innocence and joy. Despite the whimsical appearance of her style, she uses her platform to address serious social and political themes, including environmental conservation, LGBTQ plus rights, and female empowerment.

The artist maintains a philosophy of spontaneity, often painting freehand to capture a sense of immediate energy and motion. This fluid approach is inspired by the surrealist tradition of automatic writing, allowing for a metaphysical and emotional connection with the viewer. Her portfolio includes major murals across Europe, Asia, and Africa, such as the Ihsane Jarfi memorial in Brussels and environmental works in Cape Town. Beyond the physical walls she paints, she integrates modern digital technology into her practice by live streaming her creative process to global audiences. By 2026, her work continues to evolve, as seen in recent projects like the emotional soul pieces and explorations of stillness that sit between reading and looking. Her commitment to transparency and authenticity is reflected in her practice of documenting her work under her real name rather than a pseudonym.
