Graffiti, Street Art of Bratislava Slovakia
We walked through the streets of Bratislava on our own, with just a travel guide book. My first attention was caught by the street art on walls of Bratislava. Those walls of the street had colorful graffiti work.
Street art has always interested me; it seems to me the soul of the city is trying to express something. When I set foot on Bratislava I least expected to be greeted by colorful walls! These don’t seem like graffiti I thought, they seemed more like a child’s expression of a happy day filled with sunshine and friendly animals. The artwork added life to the crumbling walls there.

Alien?
Graffiti is often objected to because they are used as a medium to communicate views of dissent. They are used to prop up difficult questions to governing bodies and express their political concerns. It was considered an offence therefore.
The kind of street art I saw in Bratislava was different; more with childish innocence and wild imaginations. They just kept popping up at every turn we took. Soon I got clicking the walls infused with colorful life.

Bratislava conducts Street Art Festival every year. Main goal of Bratislava Street Art Festival is to create unique festival in a capital city by organizing 3 days of specific type of culture, which undoubtedly belongs to urban environment and thought of selected home and foreign top professional artists.
They expect increased interest not only from the audience of the population of Bratislava but also from other parts of Slovakia and neighboring countries.

In Rio de Janeiro there are also many walls with graffiti. It is the urban art that manifests itself in many ways and shows several anonymous artists.
