With the urban landscape mostly made of material that can crack through time, flaws can be unsightly. But one artist has made it his mission to transform the city’s cracked landscape into one that’s colorful and whimsical.

A French artist who goes by the name Ememem uses delightful mosaics to fill in the broken pieces. He calls his artistic technique of repairing damaged structures with mosaics “flacking.”

After beautifying his home city of Lyon, he has taken his artform to other European cities such as Paris.

Take a look at some of his works below.

His transformations make potholes and sidewalk cracks look like ancient walls of a cathedral or museum.

Cracked walls are repaired beautifully.

…And instantly lifts the spirits of passersby.
