"Inspiration always comes naturally while traveling around the world. I wasn't looking for inspiration because I let myself be inspired by what happens around me, which means I usually like that I make the mural and let people give it their own meaning. Yes, this mural is about the fast world we live in, with social media, everyone is on the phone, if you are on the train you see people who are on the phone all the time. Social media is a world that shines, I wanted to show this with the flowers on the head, that you are blinded by something you think attracts you" - says the muralist.

It took Fabian a week to complete the mural in Tirana. But this is not his only work, as his murals can be found in many countries around the world. But being nominated as a finalist for the best mural of the month, Fabian sees it as a great honor.
"The mural was selected for the best of the month, it is a great honor, a very good feeling that people liked the work and I feel honored" - adds Fabian Bane.
It was the insistence of Helidon Haliti, the curator of "Mural Fest Tirana" that brought Fabian to Tirana. Upon arrival, his attention was drawn to the colors on the streets of the capital.
"My impression of Tirana was unexpected, I had never visited Albania. When I arrived I was very impressed by the colors. I was also impressed when I drove by how many murals I could see, some of them by my favorite artists. It gives you a good feeling to be able to walk the streets of a city and see murals.”
