Pin  Graffiti "Grandpa Dobri"
The 25-meter graffiti "Santa Claus" decorates the facade of block 57B and reminds of the remarkable old man from Baylovo, called by many "living saint" and is the work of artist NASIMO. The quiet stranger, who travels 10 km from his house to the center of Sofia every day, collects donations for the Bulgarian church and becomes the biggest donor of the church-monument "St. Alexander Nevsky". Words are woven into the graffiti on the 25-meter wall depicting Grandpa Dobri. They list 26 qualities needed to be good, as my grandfather believes. Among them are humility, honesty, purity, generosity, self-control and shyness. The project is part of the Urban Creatures festival of urban art held in Sofia in June 2013, called "Souls in Walls". Urban Creatures - a project that manages to turn the hometown of its creators into a real open-air gallery for modern urban art.
