Religious Street Art? Artist Says Why Not? (VIDEO)

ROME REPORTS



ITALY---When it comes to 'street art' most people think about graffiti. But this local Italian, is changing that perception...His art, is all about Christianity. His projects include posters of Madonnas, Jesus and Saints. All of them placed in random Roman street walls. The 34 year old goes by the name of 'Mr. Klevra.' He works full time as an engineer and on his free time he designs religious posters. His favorite style is Byzantine iconography. Over the years he has posted roughly 300 posters throughout Rome and Florence. But he acknowledges that once posted, they are no longer his. They belong to the entire city. [link]
