The Kicks e-Power gets turned into a canvas for creativity.

Here’s what the Nissan Kicks e-Power would look like when turned into a street artist’s canvas. Local artist, Zebor, translated his energetic visual style and thought-provoking murals into a work of rolling art that represents themes of advancement and technology, mirroring Nissan’s dedication to driving innovation and shaping the future of mobility.

This was done as part of Nissan Philippines’ participation in the 2025 Meeting of Styles Philippines, held at TLC Park in Taguig City from April 25 to 27. This international street art festival brought together artists from around the globe to celebrate bold creativity and daring designs.

The Meeting of Styles is a globally renowned graffiti and street art event series that originated in Germany and has since grown into an international movement. The Philippine edition of the event first took place in 2013, and this year continues its legacy of creating an open and inclusive space for artists to express bold ideas through large-scale murals and live art demonstrations. The 2025 edition gathered both local and international talent, fostering a vibrant atmosphere of collaboration, culture, and community.

The event featured various activities, including pop-up galleries and live art installations. Attendees also had the opportunity to learn more about Nissan's electrified vehicles and experience the brand's vision for sustainable mobility.

Nissan’s participation was highlighted by the Nissan Kicks e-Power, which served as a blank canvas to be transformed into a one-of-a-kind street art display. This collaboration highlighted the fusion of innovative automotive technology and artistic expression, embodying Nissan's dedication to pushing boundaries and embracing creativity.

In creating his work on the Kicks e-Power, Zebor drew inspiration from Nissan’s animated advertisement campaign and the ideas of progress and energy. Zebor brought the vehicle to life through a design that features colorful patterns and a focus on the portraiture of people set in futuristic timelines. His work represents themes of advancement and technology, mirroring Nissan’s dedication to driving innovation and shaping the future of mobility.

"Our participation in the Meeting of Styles Philippines highlights Nissan’s strong support for innovation and the creative community," says Nissan Philippines. "The transformation of the Kicks e-POWER into a work of art is an expression of our Always Daring spirit, where we push the boundaries by exploring new ways to connect innovation with artistic expression."

Through its involvement in events like the Meeting of Styles, Nissan continues to champion boldness, sustainability, and local talent. The electrified Kicks e-Power, reimagined through street art, serves as a powerful statement of how technology and creativity can drive the future forward.
