The difference between street art and graffiti<\/h2>\n
\n

What is actually the difference between street art and graffiti? I had no idea, but a little Googling provides the answer. The line between the two is somewhat blurred, but in general it can be said that graffiti<\/strong> refers to the images or texts applied in public places with paint, paint pen, ink or scratches. The quality criterion with graffiti is the level of difficulty, while with street art it is originality and expressiveness.<\/p>\n

Street art<\/strong> is an art form related to graffiti. Unlike graffiti, street art creators often work anonymously, distributing images without text or signature. By street art you can think of illegally or legally applied art expressions in public places that do not fall under pure graffiti, but are not official art either.<\/p>\n

Graffiti is often primarily about decorative name tags (related to the creators), while street art tends to focus more on the images and the message behind them.<\/p>\n

The beautiful paintings in Sop\u00f3 are murals with a message, but the creator’s signature is also on everything. So a nice combination of street art and graffiti.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
