Graffiti: Social Expressions of Athens

Graffiti is a social expression. The street art reflects the thoughts of society in general. By observing them, we can grasp the social sentiment at the grass-roots level.

Athens is not really known on graffiti landscape as Berlin, Buenos Aires, or New York; however, there is a lot to explore and admire for a graffiti hunter in Athens.

Here are some gems that I found. Enjoy :)

Black and White and colourful chemistry

The subtle. (It is an interesting one. The original painter did not create the teeth!! The subtle change flipped the meaning.)

The helping hand

The fear

A devil

The battleground and survival

The supreme Parthenon

The roots of thoughts
