Murals as quick fixes to urban environments

Murals as quick fixes to urban environments

Research on how art and colors upgrade your brain’s motherboard and uplift it through its developmental stages abounds; research, also, on the truism that graffiti and unkempt city walls in general trigger your evolutionary (so it seems) urge to steal and misbehave can be found on every corner of the internet. Owing perhaps to its…

Who am I actually helping?

Who am I actually helping?

To avoid falling into the poor habit of announcing good haps only once they’re done, and leaving the process behind them in the dark, we’re bringing you a pre-holiday glimpse into the schools and people that are the vehicles for bringing FineGraffArt’s mission into fruition.

Downpour of work… and rain (Best of May, 2024)

  In the month of heavy showers and murky weather, we still managed to leave a healthy mark on two of Bulgaria’s most treasured art festivals to date – Kapana and kvARTal fest.

The curious case of some 50 sq.m. – Prof. Decho Denev Secondary School

  One night, in preparatory sleep for perhaps an inconveniently short-noticed festival invite, Fine Graff Art’s founder, Nasimo, was troubled by dreams of an inconceivable mural. An art journey of  194,000 square meters spanning across 1940 Bulgarian schools that, in our minds, are just waiting to flaunt a fresh mural to passersby. Some schools’ governing…
