Urban art has come a long way. The history of graffiti is a testament to the resilience of art in all its forms. From ancient inscriptions to contemporary street art, graffiti has defied societal norms, evolved with changing times, and found its way into mainstream art and culture.

The influence of graffiti on modern art cannot be understated, as it continues to inspire artists to push boundaries, challenge conventions, and make their voices heard. As long as there are walls to be painted and stories to be told, graffiti will remain a powerful medium of expression, shaping the art world for generations to come.
