"You would probably see more rounded rectangles in the mural if done with

I'm not sure what leads you to that conclusion. Maybe the artist likes the
juxtaposition of very round and very sharp cornered objects? Maybe round
corner rectangles would be too much middle ground, for the artist's taste?
Although I certainly have no background that would enable me to be an art
critic. But I think it easily could have been done with Inkscape.
Just my opinion :-)

Inkscape is one of many vector shape drawing programs out there. You would
probably see more rounded rectangles in the mural if done with Inkscape
shapes, as it supports adjustment handles for the corner radius and this
artist seems to like haphazardly default settings for line width etc. making
only small adjustments to each shape after creation in most cases.
Other default handles unique to Inkscape include partial circle fills and
very easy blurring of shapes, but I see none of these either.
So while it could be Inkscape, I doubt it. :)
There is nothing in it that is unique to Inkscape tools.

So I was walking near the Tel Aviv municipality building yesterday and
noticed that the entire side of the ground floor was covered with a large
abstract mural composed of multiple shapes. Started looking at the shapes
and noticed: spirals, 3D boxes, shapes filled with a vertical stripe
patterns, pie slices...
And it dawned on me that it MUST have been created in Inkscape!
You can see photos of the mural here:

(I had to shorten the link - the original link has hebrew characters in it
and I can't paste it correctly)
The page is in hebrew but you can see the photos. The text next to the mural
says the artist's name is Nurit David, that the mural has somethign to do
with Peter Bruegel's "The Triumph of Death" and that the digital nature of
the work has something to do with the transience of time (I'm heavily
paraphrasing, translating art-speak between two languages is nearly
impossible).
