Abstract :
    As a creative form of expression, street art transforms urban spaces into canvases of life and breathes new life into them. Using walls, sidewalks, and even buildings, this type of art conveys messages that are sometimes critical, sometimes social, and sometimes simply aesthetic. Street artists redefine and interpret public spaces with innovative colors and forms, thereby establishing a deep connection with their audience. In this context, art becomes a tool for dialogue and makes viewers think. The impact of street art on urban spaces is clearly seen in changing people s attitudes towards their surroundings. These works not only bring visual beauty, but also help increase the sense of belonging and social identity. By creating attractive focal points, this type of art can boost urban tourism and improve the quality of life of residents. In fact, street art, as a universal language, can be a bridge between cultures and generations, helping to exchange ideas and emotions in a free and accessible space.
