<div>The mural Parked Life is a story telling a piece of the life of his "free birds", as Hayes calls his types...a story about a traveller, a dreamer; a story on wheels, integrating elements of local life and culture or the point of view of a stranger in a foreign country - the viewer chooses. The richness of detail and different elements in VanHee's style allow for a wide interpretation and as he says himself - "working in an urban environment is always perceived in a changing context that may be different a year from now. The freedom is in letting the work take on a life of its own."&nbsp;<br>Producer: VISIONARY / https://visionary.foundation&nbsp;</div>

<div>The work of the artist is related to the thoughts on the harm and inadequated human intervention in the environment. The degeneration of species, their destruction and the transformation of their natural<br>&nbsp;habitat in a landfill, that is losing it's normalcy and natural image, is alarming.&nbsp;<br>The characters and the setting in the image are exaggerated to a slight comedy, because through irony the truth can be assimilated better. ”-&nbsp; Shares the author<br>Producer: VISIONARY / https://visionary.foundation&nbsp;</div><div><br></div>

Aleksi

<div>Graffopost vol. 1 featuring Aleksi Ivanov is the opening edition of the project GRAFFOPOST. Project GRAFFOPOST is a provocation for visual artists and muralists to show their vision of changing a public space through a conceptual art project that is fully synchronized with the urban environment itself.&nbsp;<br>The mural concept of Aleksi Ivanov depicts an urban children's playground, which has been conquered by abandoned cars, so coalesced with the children's daily lives that they have been used by them for climbing. Images show children and young people who share space on the site and grow up together.&nbsp;<br><br></div>

<div>The street art crew <strong><em>Hype All Night</em></strong> completely transformed the look of metal panels with a total area of ​​220 sq.m in the city center of Rousse. They chose to include flowers from the Red Book of Bulgaria in their project to remind the people of Rousse of the beauty of the nature and the importance of looking after it with care. <br>The abstract forms in the background refer to the nature and its fluid structure. The distinctive style, combining two artistic forms - realism and abstraction, allows the elements in the composition to contrast and complement one another. This quite naturally conveys the message of the Organic color, that project is named after, for harmony and unity. <br> Producer: VISIONARY / https://visionary.foundation <br>The mural project was organized in cooperation with the Municipality of Rousse and in partnership with <a href="https://www.orgachim.bg/">Orgachim</a>.</div>
