# Dark Shadow Street Art Sam3 Brushes The Streets of Spain With His Counter-Culture Touch By TrendHead | Published 2009-02-18 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tip-toeing-on-tongues-dark-shadowed-street-art-by-sam3 References: [woostercollective](http://www.woostercollective.com/2009/02/fresh_stuff_from_sam3_2.html) & [sam3.es](http://sam3.es/index.html) I love the paint style of [Spanish street artist](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rusto) Sam3. It is so bold with its big black shadows and yet incredibly unique. I felt blessed when I came across the animated video seen above. It is a couple of years old, but great art like this is free and can be shared and appreciated at any time. So here you go... It's truly great when you start to know and tell [street artist's works apart](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/enigmatic-graffiti). Lately I have been able to spot different artist on the streets and actually know of their previous work. It is quite amazing. It takes a while to get into who is who, but once you know a couple of key figures on the scene, it is brilliant fun when you start spotting their stuff. That is what I love about [art in the public sphere](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/craig-karl2) - it is for everybody, and not just for the few who can afford to buy it. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.8/10 - Popularity: 72% | Activity: 93% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Street Art Recognition:** Opportunity to develop technology or platforms that enable the identification and cataloging of street art artists. - **Art Appreciation Community:** Opportunity to create online communities or apps where art enthusiasts can share and discuss their favorite street artists and artworks. - **Inclusive Art Access:** Opportunity to bring art to a wider audience by leveraging digital platforms for sharing and appreciating street art. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Art Technology:** Opportunity for startups to develop innovative software or AI solutions for analyzing and classifying street art. - **Online Communities:** Opportunity for social media platforms or specialized apps to create spaces for street art enthusiasts to connect and share their experiences. - **Digital Platforms:** Opportunity for digital platforms and apps to collaborate with street artists and showcase their works to a global audience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Statement Street Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surreal-street-art-1.md) - [Evolved Vibrant Graffiti Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jan-kalb.md) - [Playful Doodle-Emblazoned Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sam-cox.md) - [Public Art Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paul-anthony-smith.md) - [Street Art Metaverses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frieze-los-angeles.md) - [Desert Reflective Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shadow-travelling.md) - [Bubblegum Street Art Buildings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hubbabubbabuilding.md) - [Tree-Integrated Mysterious Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tree-mural.md) - [Live Art Creation Events](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/live-art-creation.md)
