The Beauty of Raw Expression I Have Come to Know As Graffiti

posted on 1 January 2011 | posted in Arts and Entertainment


Now that I am older, I see 'Graffiti' as a beautiful form of raw expression - indeed, now the world seems to love its graffiti canvas art prints as much as I do now! Before youth centers existed, young adults had nowhere to express their feelings except on empty walls for all to see. I had oftentimes thought it was foul and unattractive. As I grew up, I began to see more than abuse with a paintbrush, but rather feelings though a paintbrush. When I see graffiti, I often wonder what that person was feeling. Truthfully, it helps me connect with my own feelings as well. What better way to get the message across? Not only had I awakened to the meaning of graffiti, I also gained the visual aspect of it too. Not only does it remind me to think about my own life, it reminds me to be courageous and bold, for the whole world to see. I hope too, one day you see what I see: the Beauty of Graffiti.
