One of the brightest impressions from Venezuala is undoubtedly graffiti
covering all accessible and not very accessible walls. A small
collection devoted to the graffiti of Venezuela in this post.
One of the most popular characters of street art is Simon Bolivar. The
national hero, leader in struggle for independence of the Spanish
colonies. No wonder, his images are met very frequently.
He may be met in various depictions and different companies. Such
graffiti is painted on purpose and by the order of the government.
The year of 2011 is the anniversary year. юбилейный. 200 years ago, in
1811, Venezuela got independence. So the national hero is here and
there.
Workers making the familiar image.
National flags are depicted more seldom. And the places are not so noticeable.
Another hero is the acting president Hugo Chavez. The builder of
socialism and opponent of the USA. Low prices for fuel, free roads and
cheap transport - Venezuelans love their president!
As well as other fighters against capitalism.
In general, the theme of revolution is popular and can often be seen in graffiti.
There are some awesome historical masterpieces!
It seems sometimes that you don't go along the streets at the outskirts of the capital but in some gallery.
But not only socialist heroes and the president are depicted...
Portraits of America natives.
Our contemporary looks at them suspiciously.
Near with expensive mosaic of the center...
... there lives real street art, some shady characters paint graffiti here, you'd better not walk here in dark hours.
In poor blocks one may rent some walls and cover them with ads, for example.
Out of the city - pure agitation.
Why art should be restricted to the walls only!? Going by a bright colorful bus is more pleasant.
Religious topic is not so popular in the capital but it really is out
of the city. But the church doesn't have so much money as the
government, their artists are modest as well as the pictures.
And finally the hit! Jesus-hitchhiker!
