“Street art is nothing else but urban poetry that catches someone’s eye...” - Christian Guémy

Street art should not be confused with graffiti art.
Most people may consider street art and graffiti as two similar forms of art. There is an element of truth in making this assumption. To me, they are both forms of creative artistic expression. Street art is usually painted with permission or commissioned. Graffiti is word-based and its 'writers' are mostly self-taught. One legal and the other illegal.
Before the Covid 19 pandemic, we used to travel the world and discovered a few interesting street arts in the cities we visited. These street arts are artistic works contributing to a vibrant urban environment. They turn dark gloomy back alleys into tourist attractions.
Recalling those wondering days, here are a few beautiful impressive street arts from places we visited all over the world:
