Introducing Roa Street Art

February 15, 2011 from marcos333's blog

Roa is probably one of the most notorious street artists nowadays. Illustrating buildings, walls and everything paintable with his animals in many cities around the globe. I was not a huge fan of spray paintings, I always found that this technique was mostly related to the hip hop culture, but Roa artworks shows how intense, curious and beautiful can be images done just with a spray can.

However, it's not his technique that surprise me the most, but the way he inserts his images on the places and how they get a totaly new meaning. It seems that Roa don't have a official website, but he has a Flickr where you can find more of his works, have fun.
