Street art!

My favourite kind of art is graffiti although I recognize that I'm not very fan of graffiti and neither type of visual art. For me, graffiti is a very important expression of the life street; in fact, it´s street art. Through graffiti we can see social practices of the urban life and we can understand part of this culture. Often is related with periphery zones and marginalized people, but I think that in Chile it´s not always in this way. I think that is real the link between graffiti and hip-hop movement in this country but not necessarily involves marginalized people. Well, is my opinion (100). I have some friends that make graffitis in Santiago and I have accompany to take pictures. As like it´s a ilegal practices I have to be a fast photographer. But telling you the true: I´ve never made graffitis in the street...frequently I want to go to a wall and draw anything or write a message for the people whom is walking.
Well, if I have to choose a piece of street art that I prefer...I should choose some work of Picunches, a group of graffs that draw in Santiago, principally in Recoleta. Also they are part of a hip hop net that are in "moving" and creating good works of visual and musical art. Like graffitis not always are transformed to pictures and put on internet, is difficult for me show the best pieces or my real preferences. Nevertheless, I found a picture of a good graff...and I consider it could be the graff that I should choose.
Then: my favourite kind of art is street art and my favourite piece of this is a graff made by Picunches, a collective authors.
I think it could be interesting for you,
bye my dear!
