Depending on what angle you look at the walls, you might not even notice that the artwork spells something out. Each alleyway is coated in a [bright color](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crafted-world-exhibition-1) and has one word written across multiple walls. The words are each majestic and powerful in their own way, such as the blue-drenched wall that says ‘Beleza’ (beauty) and the sun-colored yellow wall that says ‘Amor.’ The words can only be seen if you stand in a certain spot, but if you walk down the street you’ll just see walls that looks like abstract art. Boa Mistura managed to turn a poor neighborhood into a sight of beauty, which is a magnificent thing to do in itself. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.9/10 - Popularity: 79% | Activity: 59% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Graffiti](https://www.trendhunter.com/graffiti) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Angled Word Street Art:** Opportunity for artists to create interactive and visually dynamic street art that can only be fully appreciated from specific angles - **Bright Colored Wall Candy:** Trend of using vibrant and eye-catching colors in street art to transform urban spaces into visually appealing environments - **Hidden Message Art:** Emerging trend of incorporating hidden messages or words within art pieces, challenging viewers to discover and interpret the meaning ### Who This Affects Most - **Street Art:** Street artists can incorporate angled word techniques and bright colors to create unique and captivating artworks - **Urban Renewal:** Opportunity for urban development organizations to collaborate with artists to transform neglected spaces into visually appealing and engaging areas - **Tourism and Cultural Events:** Organizers can leverage hidden message art installations as attractions, creating intrigue and fostering visitor engagement ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Statement Street Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surreal-street-art-1.md) - [Urban Text Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peace-love-joy.md) - [Food-Inspired Street Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dish-pics.md) - [Vibrant City Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/craig-karl2.md) - [Statement Wall Covering Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/el-muro.md) - [Color-In Commuter Tunnels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/masterpeace-painting.md) - [Nature-Inspired Urban Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kriskadecor-1.md) - [Interactive Typo Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loveegolov.md) - [Community-Inspired Colorful Substations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brent-cross-town.md)
