history of graffiti

Graffiti culture is a phenomenon that began in the 1970s in the slums of big cities in the USA. Over time, street art has become a feature of more major cities around the world. Sofia is no exception to this.

One after the other, the old houses and the panel residential buildings become picturesque canvases that impress with interesting plots and masterful execution. These are not standard graffiti in Sofia, representing inscriptions and incomprehensible scribbles, but really beautiful, impactful works. They create a completely new aesthetic of the city and slowly turn Sofia into a more pleasant place to live.

The graffiti boom made the English word “mural” (fresco, French) popular. The word is a loanword from the French word muraille – «wall». In the language of street art, a «mural» means a large-scale drawing on a wall. These drawings usually decorate the facades of public buildings, boring places like the subway, public transport stops, tunnels and other public places.
