Belgrade Wall Art | Order and Chaos

One thing that immediately struck me in Belgrade and that I definitely liked as an artist was the street art and graffiti.

People are generally divided into two camps, and I would like to single out two categories of people:

First – those who like order, everything in its place, beauty, and a well-groomed environment.

Second – those who do not particularly like the stiffness and monotony that is characteristic of the first group, and prefer a wider variety of experiences.

It goes without saying that people from the first group will most likely not be a fan of urban graffiti.

Meanwhile, I am from the second group – I do not like cities where everything is regulated and organized – I prefer to experience new things and look at the world around me with its many details unique to each place. Even in my trips back home, I always try to choose a different road because I get bored of the same environment very quickly. Thus, while representatives of the first group may consider graffiti a dirty nuance in the city, this is not the case for the second group. Moreover, there are artists like me who prefer less regulated environments.

Despite the efforts of the first group, graffiti artists still create art and perform their works for the whole world to see, risking everything for their self-expression.

Perhaps someone from the first group should give up some of their order-loving tendencies and create special zones for street artists who would exhibit their works. Secondly, such places would be popular among tourists and locals.

I edited these photos using the software I am currently developing, and I will be releasing a demo version for you to download very soon!

    I find this contrast between order and chaos really interesting. Street art can change the way we experience a city especially when it brings unexpected colors and ideas to ordinary streets I also like your suggestion of creating dedicated spaces for street artists. This could be a good way to support artistic freedom while still respecting public spaces. Sometimes what looks like disorder to one person can be a source of inspiration for someone else
