The very first impression of Warsaw is grimy with some of its shambled walls, peeling paint, and to disrepair railings. A few citizens take advantage of its ruins as blank canvases and give it a little color with the creation of quirky street art. Taking a look, unexpectedly, you will see inspiring graffiti art on walls, sides of buildings, sidewalks, and columns. Yes even columns – creators build up colorful blocks under missing areas of columns to give the look as if it is made of Legos (See Fig.1). Other artists use massive blank walls to display their mark on the city of Warsaw.
This isn’t just any day-to-day spray paint on a wall; it is extravagant works of art. An artist named Natalia Rak has more than one works of art around the city (Rak, Natalia). Many of them consist of a lovely pale girl with bright blue hair being as carefree as she likes (See Fig.2). Her hair flows majestically as each mural revolves around some sort of figure in nature. You can spend a majority of one day just marveling at its wonder. Roads made of cobblestones with twists and turns down alleyways and lines of shops so every new turn is almost completely unknown of where you may end up.
While exploring the area, why not bring home a souvenir? Take a peek here into the vintage Kolo Antique Market. It attracts many to bargainers to thrift-shoppers and many who want to sell their old junk. The place has more junk than your grandma’s attic. Items even date back to the 1920s. There are piles of objects such as furniture, dishware, art, knick-knacks, and sometimes clothes are available for sale as well (See Fig. 3). But be careful – some items may be over priced.
