This art that is otherwise called street art is part of the contemporary art movements. It encompasses many techniques such as quick graffiti on the wall. The latter is a technique that leaves a trace, it aims to mark an inscription. It is the manifestation of the self, it conveys a message: I have been through this place or this place. This artistic technique is the meaning of a disinterested personal expression.
