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.

Very cool! I love taking photos of street art. There are a lot of talented artists out there.
It’s quite amazing discovering the work of these talented people around us.
There’s beauty in learning about different cities and exploring the world around you. It’s awesome to travel and learn different cultures.

I love the Vienna Street Art! I hope I can visit Vienna, Austria soon because it’s one of my favorite places to be at in Europe.
Yes Emman. We absolutely loved it.
Very funky street art. I have not yet been to Vienna but look forward to visiting one day and taking photos of the canal and artwork too.
Truly funky Paula. I think you can spend hours together appreciating the creations.
I think we’ve become more open to street art and I think that’s great. Street art is a brilliant way for artists to express themselves and share their work. There’s nothing better than spending time with a friend while also appreciating art.
Yes another opportunity for us to experience creativity at it’s best Terry.
