Update:
Street art invades the walls of Warsaw, Poland, giving the capital of the open -air museum. These frescoes, created by renowned amateurs and artists, testify to the cultural richness of Warsaw.
The history of murals in Poland dates back to the communist era, where they served as propaganda tools for the party. However, with the fall of communism and Western influences in the 1990s, Warsaw buildings began to be adorned with purely artistic frescoes and far from any political propaganda.
The proliferation of murals in Warsaw is facilitated by the introduction of participatory budgets, the inhabitants deciding in the way in which the city funds are allocated. This democratic approach to urban planning has led to an increase in street art, transforming Warsaw into an open -air gallery. Mural paintings not only add bright colors to the urban landscape, but also arouse reflection by their symbolism.
In recent years, Warsaw has adopted street art as an essential element of its urban identity. Today, these frescoes are much more than embellishments of the city, these are authentic visual testimonies of the history of the city, its culture and its inhabitants.
Warsaw becomes an essential destination for art lovers and a living testimony of art power in public space.
