I came across this and the following murals in the far south of Spain on the Costa De La Luz. They add colour and inspiration to a somewhat remote, desolate neighbourhood. An asset that fortunately was not erased.
Graffiti and street art are forms of visual art that are often found in public spaces. Although they are sometimes used interchangeably, there are subtle differences between the two. Graffiti usually consists of texts, tags or stylised letters that are applied with spray cans, often as an expression of identity, protest or territory. Street art, on the other hand, is broader and includes murals, stencil art, stickers and installations. It often focuses on conveying a message or beautifying an environment.
Both art forms have their roots in underground culture and are sometimes seen as vandalism, especially when they are applied to buildings or walls without permission. However, appreciation for street art has increased significantly in recent years. In cities such as Berlin, London and Amsterdam, tours are organised along famous works, and artists such as Banksy have gained international fame.
Street art can be socially critical, humorous or simply visually attractive. It plays an important role in urban culture, adds color to the city and invites dialogue. What was once considered a nuisance is now often recognized as a valuable art form that breathes new life into public space.
