A Crazy Medley of Street Art in Belgrade

In more recent years, I've become a bonafide street art enthusiast. I find myself avidly seeking out street art when visiting a new city. Hunting for street art is now on par with seeing the mainstream tourist attractions. While in Belgrade, I was served and then some with a crazy medley of street art! I was in Belgrade for only two days but I was astounded at how much street art I came across in such a short amount of time.

Is graffiti in Belgrade viewed as an acceptable form of artistic expression? A necessary outlet born from years of Soviet oppression? Or, is it a constant nuisance? I don't have the answer. All I can say is that the city seems to embrace this unique art form.

Savamala, the artistic hub of Belgrade, is a delightful hodgepodge of murals, amateur graffiti and haphazard tags. Anyone with a penchant for street art should definitely head to this unconventional neighborhood when visiting Belgrade.

With no further ado, here are some of the fabulous, quirky, thought-provoking and weird street art I spotted while wandering around Belgrade!

Gioi Olbi Remed is the brilliant artist behind "La Santa de Belgrade" - an intricate painting depicting the city's cycle of death and rebirth. Did you know Belgrade was destroyed during various wars and consequently rebuilt 40 times? Crazy! I find the black and white to be sobering allowing the viewer to truly feel the essence of the painting.

This soulful mural is titled "Let It Out" by Artez, one of the leading street artists to have emerged in Serbia. His awesome work can be seen in many countries including France, Turkey, Egypt, Italy and India. This type of street art is not only visually-appealing but also serves to convey a profoundly meaningful message all of us can relate to.

This huge, wonderful mural was created by Meeting of Styles, an international network of eclectic graffiti artists spreading their talent across the globe. The mural is in a school yard - I think every school should have some type of art displayed on their walls! Just imagine how positively stimulated and inspired the kids would be.
