The other day a close friend rang me up after a long time, although we keep communicating through social media off and on. He had just read my post A cruise on Danube Vienna and wished to know whether I had also recorded some of the widely talked about Street Art Paintings of Vienna. He happens to be an artist himself. A painter.
The Danube Canal is an attractive canvas for artists and the vast empty spaces have been used over the years to express thoughts, feeling and concerns through paintings. With burst of colors through carefully curated murals to the anonymous scribbles, the street art here has transformed the area and given it a unique character that sets it apart from much of Vienna’s otherwise pristine reputation.
In fact in the last couple of days I have watched this video which I had recorded, more than once . And tried to analyze the paintings to understand what goes on in the minds of creative artists. From the time of conceiving a thought to sketching it in their mind to the final expression for us to enjoy. And perhaps plant a seed in our mind for thought. Wish to watch. Here it is for you and my painter friend. Have a look. And enjoy this ten minutes journey.
Vienna Street Art on Danube. Some food for thought as you relax and ring in the new year.
Thank You for making our year so very special & wishing you a very Happy New Year. Have a wonderful 2020 💞
Hope you enjoyed the creations. PIN it for later
I have tried to visit Austria many times but never got to. Thank you for sharing this wonderful experience .
May be this virtual experience would motivate you to take a trip. You’ll love it.
I love following you as you explore the world. Keep it up. Where are off to next? By the way, the paintins are beautiful, very creative.
Goa in India Sonia. Then plan to be in Belgium and Nederland.
Loved watching the video you made, urban art is awesome. Full of meaning, so raw it represents desires, wishes, unhappiness and happiness. Wonderful!
Thanks for liking Daphne. The place and the creations were just amazing.
I adore street art! My cousin visited Vienna last year and raved about it. Your post makes me want to go there even more now!.
Try and make it sometime Lulu and you fall in love.
Street art is so much fun! Because it can be anything. In the town where I live, we are starting to see a lot of murals on buildings popping up and it is so much fun to see and enjoy. I love seeing the creativity of local artists as well. I would thoroughly enjoy seeing this become a more prominent scene in all cities.
Yes Erica the street art in Vienna was so very interesting.
Vienna is SO high on my bucket list!! This makes me even more excited to book a trip!
You must take out time and visit this beautiful destination.
Sounds like a wonderful place to visit someday. I’ve always loved areas where you get to see tons of different art from plenty of people.
We always love to look for street art when we travel. And we have visited Vienna. But missed the street art in Vienna. It does look like a Danube cruise would give you a great view of the art on the canal. I agree that it is always interesting to consider what was in the mind of the artist when they were creating. But since I have no artistic skills at all, I am always fascinated with how the artists can get their thoughts out in art.
