Art evolves over time. It takes influences from the art of the past while renewing itself and presenting itself in increasingly innovative ways. Graffiti is already considered a serious art, and although its place is on walls and street fences, today we find works that can be considered true treasures. Here we have some of the most beautiful latest graffiti in the world.
Likewise, art is a reflection of its time and the circumstances that surround it. Our 21st century is a mix of trends and different customs. We have a global culture and we face very particular problems. Graffiti as street art has gone from being considered a simple act of rebellion to being one of the most appreciated public arts of our time.
There is no doubt that graffiti art can give us truly beautiful works and still does not lose the protest character it has always had. Street Art Cities is a platform that emerged in 2016 to bring together the graffiti community from around the world and every year mentions the best graffiti in the world. Here we have the best of 2023.

These awards are divided into three categories: one for the best walls in the world, another for the graffiti that creates the greatest impact and a third for the most innovative. Some of this graffiti was done especially for festivals and others were simply made known by their own artists or by people who spread the word.
Graffiti art is always renewed and also presents original ideas that we will not be able to appreciate in other artistic disciplines.
