Nature / Sri LankaUdapalatha is a small village with a surrounding area full of farms which, in addition to the omnipresent tea cultivation, are mainly involved in vegetable growing. The further you get into the interior of Sri Lanka, the more mountainous and cooler it becomes, where fruit and vegetables thrive under the best conditions. Another advantage of the island, which is close to the equator, is that there is no summer and winter here, just a difference between rain and lots of rain. This means that they can grow and harvest all year round.

Brazil / StreetartToday we have another colorful, interesting and authentic interview for you with a fantastic artist from São Paulo in Brazil. We introduce you to the heartful painter and creative graffiti sprayer Daniel Bazco, to his art, his thinking and his mission to bring more life and positive energy into the cities and the minds of the people. Daniel Bazco’s motifs are mostly about flora and fauna, but he also likes to paint portraits and characters. In doing so, he often chooses special people whom he would like to remember, but also people who deserve criticism. What all of his works have in common, however, is that they shine with strong color intensity.

Chile / StreetartThe Galería BOMB was a place that sought to publicize streetart and its artists who remain outside traditional spaces but are present throughout the city of Santiago de Chile. Unfortunately it only existed from 2009 till 2010, but great works have been created and shown during that short period. The idea of the gallery was to have a space similar to a piece of street rather than a traditional gallery. That’s why a lot of creations were not only done on the façades around, but also inside.

Germany / StreetartThis time we’re going to Wunstorf to a Hall of Fame that is hardly in the public eye and should not be underestimated. West of the Wunstorf train station, the span of the railway tracks to the west towards the city of Minden and to the northwest towards the city of Bremen is crossed by an elevated national road Hochstraße (B 441). Between these tracks and below this “urban planning fiasco” there is a small legal spray spot. This little insider tip often surprises with the finest pieces, which (at times) do not have to shy away from a quality comparison with those of the famous halls in the cities around.
