Pin  Sunflower on Ivan Vazov Street
If there is a way to unite buildings, then here it is achieved in a very original way: the graphite is painted on three buildings that carry the spirit of old Sofia and at the same time the colorful, urban, youthful dynamics. On the ground floor there is an art store "Sunflower", which every craft and art resident and guest of the capital certainly knows. Nature, a child, birds and thousands of other jewelry details represent the ecological idea of the authors of the graffiti. Other of their works adorn many European countries, including the Netherlands, France, Greece, Italy, Germany, Serbia, Albania and others.

Curious about graffiti:

The etymology of the word "graffiti" originates from the Greek verb "write" (γράφειν - graphein). Graffiti includes all inscriptions and paintings on walls - this includes both cave paintings and inscriptions in public buildings.

The concept is broad, but for the purpose of the article the focus will be on graffiti as drawings or inscriptions in public places (buildings, public transport) and are painted with spray and / or paint.
