The Colors of Valparaiso

While walking through the streets of Valparaiso, you sometimes feel overwhelmed by the amount of graffiti that surrounds you.  It covers every single available surface.  And I mean every single surface.  It is colorful, thought provoking and, in most cases, done by very talented artists.  Of course you can still find the simple tagging done by those that wish to deface instead of enhance, but it is much less prevalent.  Most of the pieces are stories.  Some are simple and straightforward and some are incredibly complex.  Some come with words, and others tell their story silently.  No matter really because their individual and unique beauty speaks for itself.  I snapped a few pictures but could never really capture their essence.  Enjoy.



Faith, Hope, Love










I know this isn't graffiti but it just goes to show that every available surface is covered.  In something.
