If I had to guess 20 years ago, I would not expect that I will ever be a fan of graffiti and street art. I've always concidered it an ugliness and damage. That's true, and to be honest, the "art" I came across on those days were it.
After Ukraine got rid of the totalitarian regime, other examples of street art began to appear on our streets, especially after the Revolution of Dignity in 2013-2014. Murals were huge, bright, and stunningly beautiful. They brought an idea to our street art, and added colors to our gloomy buildings.
This winter, I've explored 6 km of the walking path along Dneeper river here in Kyiv. I've seen a lot of cool things, and I think they still look cool in black and white. I think you remember them in color, if you follow me.
I was told that the idea of angel's wings is popular around the whorld. But I saw it for the first time, and took an opportunity to became an angel for a while. A frozen and sad angel...
Charmed women.
