Graffiti today is a form of street art, one of the most relevant forms of artistic expression around the world. There are many different styles and types of graffiti. The works created by graffiti artists are an independent genre of modern art, an integral part of culture and urban lifestyle. The origins of graffiti lie in ancient times, when in the cave paintings primitive people depicted scenes of hunting, life and the community hierarchy. Now these are the most diverse subjects with intricate images, bright colors and various incarnations.

The attitude to graffiti is ambiguous: some believe that this is vandalism, others are a good way to bring a little vivid colors to the dull urban landscape. Nevertheless, graffiti as a form of art has long been included in modern culture. And only individually it is possible to evaluate whether it is good or bad. But, undoubtedly, this is a creative art form, bordering on a sharp protest against the typical, gray and dullness of modern cities.
