The World is a Canvas: Valparaíso, Chile's Graffiti

Feelin' normal
Throughout the city of Valpraíso, Chile, urban artwork prevails and gives the landscape incredible dimension. It's colorful, it's creative, and it's free for the eyes of anyone interested in observing. Here are some of our favorite shots, perhaps ready to create on a garage door near you.Feelin' normal
apaga la tele, vive tu vida = turn off the tv, live your life
funny to see graffiti in english
beneath the asphault, there are flowers that have not been born.

Wow. Artistic expression or what?! My favorites: the wall of furniture pieces AND your standing at the high end of row-houses. Colorful neighborhood. Pretty darn cool!!
This is why I like art and open streets. Art is such a wonderful thing!
You put this together just for ME didn't you!!! You knew I would love it!!!

Why so much Graffiti in one area? Is it known for it?
Beautiful pics guys :)
I think there is just a very relaxed attitude there about those sort of things. Kind of like "well, we don't have enough money to paint the walls, so we'll just let anyone do it."
it's a super artsy area with lots of college students too, so there are lots of unique cafes, shops, etc, so it all creates a cool, funky vibe. In a number of ways, it's sort of the San Francisco of South America - also that it's hilly & on a bay.
Loved, loved, loved the wall art. Particularly fond of the hand with paper airplanes and the lady with the butterflies. Wonderful color! I see your VW lust continues!
That's real cool graffiti, and great pics too, Valparaiso looks great.
