On internet we can find the definition of graffiti as all of those graphic representations on walls, public places, cars, or a urban good. But, in one image may have a thousand words and ideas.
Graffiti is the most popular way to express what we think about something, usually painting on the walls.Unfortunately, the society is not prepared to understand how urban painting can show the reality, or even the mind of a introvert artist, and as human beings, we need to express what we think; talking, singing, playing, or painting. Sometimes, this artists are hiden on the streets just living their lifes and don´t thinking about how to make money for their creations, Artists that just think about the day of today, how to survive and show the other way to see the life, using color and forms, art.
Their creations speaks by themselves. Using different elements and combination of pigments on the urban canvas. Besides, they have a clasification according to how they were painted:
