Graffiti has been a recent topic of discussion, and the focus of many photos in Spain. While some graffiti is more complex and artistic in style, “tagging,” or the painting of that artist’s name, is one of the most common graffiti styles.
I have seen graffiti on both modern structures and historic sites, some of which date back to Barcelona’s origins in the 3rd Century BC. Personally, I am disappointed to see graffiti plastered on such amazing structures! I have come across several artists spray-painting their canvas in broad daylight. I even managed to take photos of them in action.
On the other hand, graffiti can be a fantastic medium for expression, whether for personal or commercial purposes. The question then becomes: What type of graffiti is acceptable and where? Is it art or crime? Share your comment on Facebook.
Any way you look at it, there is no simple answer.
