Street artist Princess Hijab has been creating guerrilla street art since 2006, originally adding printed veiled faces over advertisements, now using black paint directly on the advertisements.
The final result is veiled women who are less than fully dressed. It’s an interesting comment from Princess Hijab, turning sexy print ads to comments on religion and culture. Take a look at some of the collection from Princess Hijab that has been growing for a few years!
