Graffiti is truly an art form! Whether you love it or hate it, you can’t help but admire the beauty and talent behind it. And in Miami you can see it in full color! You can find these beautiful works of art in the Wynwood neighborhood, located North of Downtown Miami. It is a neighborhood sprinkled with galleries, museums, and cute bars. Most of these pictures were captured by walking the exhibit at Wynwood Walls, and then some were captured on my way there.
The artworks are absolutely mesmerizing! There’s pops of color everywhere. Every corner you turn, every new block, or any side of an unsuspecting building can be secretly hiding a beautiful masterpiece. And if you’re lucky, you may just get a sneak peak at private banquet rooms that look like this:
and like this with the lights off:
Artists come from all over the world to paint the walls of Wynwood. Take for example, the first picture featured at the top of this post, it was painted by French artist Vanessa Alice Bensimon, a.k.a. Miss Van. Or even local artists (as in nationals), hailing from Brooklyn:
And on the sidewalks, as you walk under the Miami sun, searching for the next piece of art to point and shoot, your feet step all over funny and beautiful quotes sprinkled throughout the neighborhood.
If you are planning a trip to Miami, consider visiting Wynwood Art District. Perfect place to get some good food, maybe an ice cold beer for those hot Miami days, and take in all the sights. I also hear that it is absolutely beautiful at night. Spotlights light up the beautiful works of art, and they probably stand out beautifully in the dark of the night.
If you’d like more information about the art works and the talented artists behind them, visit The Wynwood Walls.
That art work is incredible!! Reminds me of Berlin in a sense with it’s street art scene!
My husband and I are both lover’s of good graffiti art. Didn’t realize that Miami had a neighborhood like this. Might have to check it out next time we are there. Really found the painting by Miss Van, who knew there was blue in it until the lights were off!
Never heard of this in Miami. Thanks for sharing it.
I love street art, and I love Miami too, it’s time we repaid it a visit soon! Great shots! 🙂
Oh wow, beautiful street arts! Now, there’s more reason for me to visit Miami other than its beautiful beaches 🙂
I love street art- My favourite city for it is Berlin 🙂
Wow I can spend all day here. I love graffiti, such a beautiful expression of art. When im travelling I always try to go and visit an urban graffiti area. Great day out for photography stroll.
I didn’t realise Miami was so colourful! I’d love to visit one day and see all of this.
We love discovering street art in all the different cities we travel to. It can be so unique and yes they are certainly very talented. Can’t wait to one day visit Miami!
