Graffiti In Lisbon

Lisbon Portugal is an interesting city full of contradictions. It seems to be stuck deeply in the last century while having a spirit that is forward looking.

Throughout the city are a number of neighborhoods with incredibly good street art many with the blight of ugly graffiti right along side or unfortunately inside.

The graffiti artist to the right was seen in a few locations and was obviously created with a stencil. He’s unusual in that it is graffiti commenting on the ugliness of graffiti.

Above is one of several scenic parks overlooking the city, with many defaced by ugly graffiti.
