STREET ART - LISBON

Howdy, street artists.

On this post, I will present to you art from the streets of Lisbon. Lisbon is the capital of Portugal and the most populous in the country. Let’s explore some places where you can find the best art in the streets of Portugal.

Castelo de São Jorge (Escadinhas de São Cristóvão)

When taking a walk, on the way to Castelo de São Jorge, you are granted with paintings on the walls. The paints withdraw Fado, a Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity and the urban popular song of Portugal, and it shows you how important Fado is for the Portuguese people and the Portuguese society.

City’s elevators

One of the main highlights of the city is its elevators that help people reach the viewpoints of the city. Artists showcase their talents in the street of the Glory Elevator and the street of the Lavra Elevator.

On the way to Marquês de Pombal

In the Fontes Pereira de Melo avenue, 3 buildings portray big paintings. These force you to stop and enjoy it. The painters of these buildings were Os Gemeos, Blu and Sam3.

Between Baixa and Belém

As stated in a previous street art post, Vhils is one of the most recognized Portuguese street artist in the world. He also left his mark in the streets of Lisbon, on one of the Lx Factory buildings, before the bridge’s pilars near Alcantara. On the other side of the road, a mural was painted by Hom & Nosm.

Internationally speaking, Lisbon is recognized worldwide for its street art, which is one of the richest in the world. By saying this, the name Crono has to be mentioned. Crono is a project that helped revealing street art from Lisbon to the world. You can visit this project: http://cargocollective.com/Crono. Hope you enjoyed this post.

Until then, a better post is coming, next time.
