Murals and street art are important to the artist because they are the living face of artistic contemporaneity: in dialogue with everyday life, they show us the transience of the image and are within everyone’s reach — even of those who wish to vandalize them.
This makes them a true tribunal of popular taste, shaping and being shaped by what surrounds them. Whether institutional or anarchic, graffiti repudiate the grey of modern structures and give life to the city; whether part of an urban-renewal plan or the work of unknown hands, graffiti are the trace of the urban being.
