Original Art Photography Series by @velimir #300 'The Guardian'
'The Guardian'
Talking about graffiti art, I've found another piece that goes into that category. An absolute heavyweight champion masterpiece in a form of an old man, a protector of Nature or Guardian of Plant world. Notice the look in his eyes. Do we read sadness mixed with wisdom in there? I do. The old man is like saying: 'What have you done? When will you stop? Does it take so much to understand that you are a part of nature, not its ruler?"
I love the colour scheme chosen by the author. It adds so much to the painting. Or we could easily say that the painting adds so much to the nature around it. Notice how the greens and reds are transposed gently in the face and easily blended in the whole. The only 'off' element is the purple accent on the right side. However, I don't find it working against the idea.
I wouldn't mind seeing a little more of blue colour in the eyes, only to make them even more alive. However, I am prone to believe that it is done like this on purpose. If accentuated, eyes would lose the sadness.
I love when street art is seriously done art, while I despise scribblings and aimless vandalism. This is an example of how street art can enrich our environment and make it more beautiful.
Enjoy!

I like the composition of the colors. The face makes your mind spin of in thoughts.
i am really surprised to see your art post.because first time i am seeing this art photography in your blog..its fantastic creativity of you.just excellent shots photography to art.. ..... This is the interpretation of the old man - the keeper of nature. He is the personification of how modern nature looks at modern people. Nature is in perplexity. She asks people - why ?. People are indeed part of nature, but they deny it. "Man" imagines himself the crown of evolution and the king of nature. But this is not so. One natural disaster or a serious cataclysm can destroy a large part of humanity. I mean that a person is part of nature, part of the world, part of the universe. Everything is interconnected. If we destroy forests and pollute the atmosphere, then this does not make us "above" nature. This makes us those who do not like their own home.A bright composition that can make us think. The right way to choose humanity? Are the money worth it to seriously destroy nature. I think the answers are obvious.thanks to sharing for your great post of art.very well done..my dear friend.. @velimir take care yourself and best of luck of your great work..
This is a masterpiece painting. Firstly it makes a lot of sense, and secondly the picture is really a super-decoration. It can not be compared to ordinary street graffiti because it really looks like an artist's work. Street artist. This person should receive money for their work.

Despite the modest skill and equipment, the concept of writing and the wall became the safest medium to express a discreet opinion at the time.
The term graffiti itself is taken from the Latin, graphium which means to write. Initially the term was used by archaeologists to define the writings in ancient buildings of the ancient Egyptians and Romans.
Graffiti itself is: An art creations that are expressed by artists through the media of concrete walls or media of wooden walls and concrete that can be painted in the form of letters, images that have a certain meaning as the outpouring of the heart that makes it in pour in the form of writing and pictures in such rupa that usually wear paint pilox as a liquid dye or also wear a bruss air compressor.
wow man, this is the most beautiful art i have ever seen,
how beautiful this old man is looking,
I love the way the artist has painted this photo.
he used leaves in his advantage.
that is amazing, that is incredible, you are sharing most wonderful art with us @velimir, you are very very great sir, I don't have words to say how artistic you are sir @velimir, they way you find the art, i mean wonderful art is just amazing, out of this world.
I focus on the eyes of man, his eyes is looking so sad. it looks like he is in some sort of sorrow, maybe the sorrow of old age.
This small art picture is expressing a lot of words. His eyes purely prove that how sad he is!!. Though we are a part of nature but we are rulling our nature by destroying it's beautifullness and cutting them randomly. His eyes saying that,"pls,don't do Injustice with me.
Actually,we are destroying our nature without any reason.We are the only people in the world who have their intellect and conscience.But unfortunately, we are acting as the worst and unwise.
We all should be concious about our environment.
Art is marvelous, inspires us and fills us with joy,
This graffiti is very well crafted and we can enjoy it because it has an excellent message.
I share with you, this art that you present in spite of being a street artist is an art made in serious, and not those scribbles that use it as an art to give publicity to vandalism, to pornography. I reject that.
This is an example of how street art can enrich our environment and make it more beautiful. Thanks @velimir.
We have 'street art' all over Tel-Aviv. I think, however, that it is more of the derivative and pedestrian type to trying so hard to be "authentic." In any case, I have seen nothing as original as I see here.
The word art has been small, this look is always found in older people and was captured by this painter with such perfection that it is worth having it at home, really good
Wow, one of the best graffiti I have seen. Reminds me of the "Green man" but I think that was the point. :)
Na Bundeku je :D Kod onog prljavog hotela preko puta hehehe Odi vidi.
