BRATISLAVA, October 30, 2026
Italian street artist Vincenzo Magno (ViM) has painted a cow by Kuchajda lake. The project Kuh-Heide! is presented by Bratislava Street Art Festival in cooperation with the Bratislava-Nové Mesto city district.
The work was made in October. ViM brought spray paint to a piece of concrete sticking out of the ground on the lake shore and turned it into a cow lying in the grass. The eye is painted in fine detail.
Why a cow
The project name plays on the name of the lake. Kuchajda comes from Kuh-Heide, German for a cow pasture, and cows really did graze there once. So the cow is back at the place the lake takes its name from.
