I have always loved and been drawn to street art and graffiti – to the language, the color, the subversion, the message and the art. Urban art exists in public space 24/7 and is fascinating and captivates my heart.
The blog was built as a Passion project with the aim of documenting and making street art accessible. To give eternal life to pieces of art and culture that, if they were not documented, would be lost.
On the blog you will find graffiti and street art from many cities:
In Israel: Tel Aviv-Yafo, Haifa, Jerusalem, Netanya, Beer Sheva, Raanana
In the world: New York, Zurich, Amsterdam, Berlin, Athens, Marseille, London, Milan, Miami
This blog offers a rich collection of content exploring the street art and graffiti scene in Israel and around the world. You’ll find posts about leading Israeli artists, information on common techniques in urban art, helpful tips, and thousands of photographs I’ve taken in various cities across the globe. The blog reflects my personal journeys, insights, and experiences related to street art, and I invite you to join me on this shared journey of photography, art, and social dialogue.
Graffiti (street art) is a free ticket to a global exhibition—one that constantly shifts, expands, and evolves. Graffiti creates and drives artistic dialogue between passersby, architecture, and urban life. Sometimes it disrupts, scars, or forcibly marks the wall. Other times, it breathes life into a public surface, offering a colorful and emotional glimpse into the graffiti artist’s inner world—and our own, as viewers. In both cases, it generates a direct, unfiltered communication between the viewer and the message left on the wall.
Technique, aesthetics, message (personal or social), and urban context—these, in my view, are the four core values that define street art. This blog seeks to explore and deconstruct these values through explanations and examples, along with my own reflections, insights, and documentation of graffiti and street art I’ve encountered around the world.
Through the blog, I seek to express gratitude, document, showcase, and celebrate the urban passion that beats in the hearts of street artists. Their creations illuminate and enrich my city.
