Street art in Athens
Meeting of Styles is a festival that celebrates diversity in street art and graffiti. Murals painted by a range of international artists, coming from even the furthest parts of the world, are a great way to showcase how rich and colorful street art can be. From graffiti artists to muralists painting portraits, everyone finds their own niche.

This abstract blue artwork of mine was created to complement the surrounding space. As cliché as it may sound, the blue art in Greece felt like the perfect match.

In the realm of graffiti, artists employ a wide range of techniques—from bold, typographic lettering and intricate, detailed illustrations to realistic portraits and conceptual designs. Each artist brings their own cultural influences, messages, and techniques, creating a rich tapestry of visual expression that is ever-evolving.
Abstract art adds a unique quality to this landscape. Unlike traditional graffiti, which often relies on recognizable images or lettering, abstract art thrives on shapes, colors, and forms that are open to interpretation. This freedom allows for a new layer of engagement with the public, sparking curiosity and encouraging personal connection to the artwork. Abstract murals can transform a public space by infusing it with energy, mood, and movement, without being bound by a specific narrative or message.
By blending abstract elements with street art and graffiti, public art becomes more dynamic, catering to a broader range of tastes and artistic appreciation. Abstract art challenges traditional ideas of what public murals can be, offering a fresh, imaginative perspective that enhances the urban landscape, inviting viewers to experience street art in a different way.
