Street Art | Designer

Street art has been around for centuries, tracing back to ancient civilizations. However, it wasn’t until the 1960s that street art as we know it today began to emerge. Street artists use public spaces as their canvas, often creating politically charged and thought-provoking works that challenge societal norms.

These artists have a unique relationship with design, using their art to communicate messages and ideas to the public. Many street artists have backgrounds in graphic design or other visual arts, which allows them to create intricate and visually stunning works.

The rise of street art has also led to collaborations between artists and designers, with brands commissioning street artists to create murals or designs for products. Despite its controversial nature, street art has become an integral part of contemporary design culture and continues to inspire new generations of artists and designers alike.
