Dear Art lover,
This post is about the murals I saw in
Belgrade (Beograd), Serbia. It is by no
means any serious list since I only spent half a day there and most of that was
spent in the Nikola Tesla Museum and later drinking wine with three friends. This first one lends a peaceful air to the
neighborhood. I enjoyed its pastel round
shapes contrasting with the square windows and forms of the buildings.
This second and third images are not
actually murals. The first appears to be
something like giant pieces of corkboard over the windows, but it gives a
feeling of having pictoral elements. The
second is a restaurant on a famous street called Skadarlija.
It is the oldest street there, I
believe. The cobblestones feel like a
massage on the feet. Anyway, I thought the
repetitive use of small flower boxes going vertical had a charming effect. This next is another restaurant on the other
side of the street. Also, not really a “real”
mural, but pretty. [I did make a
disclaimer that this is not an exhaustive list, right?]
This next series is of an ambitiously
large mural consisting of painted buildings on real buildings. I hope you enjoy. This mural is also on the Skadarlija Street
in Belgrade, Serbia.
