Sta.sh
The vision fits the title perfectly. If I am correct, it's about people looking for a bright future, right? It looks amazing, and you are a brilliant artist.
ORIGINALITY
I've been seeing a lot of graffiti, and paintings similar to that. The thing that makes it original is that there are butterflies that are attracted to the girl, and playing peacefully with her.
TECHNIQUE
It would have had more flair if the walls weren't dirty, and that the blue, and pink sparks would be lowered a little bit. The eyes seems to be a bit different. If you look closely, the left eye is looking to the upper right, while the right eye is looking to the lower right. You have a nice touch with the butterflies there. You make it seem so colorful, and vibrant. Nice job.
IMPACT
It would have made a little bit more impact if my suggestions from the technique were shown. But since there were rainy days, that seems to be excused. It was a great idea for you to put a graffiti artwork near your studio, and I think that putting butterflies, and those little sparks added a little flair and colorfulness into the piece. Overall, I think that it's great, and you really have done a great job on this piece.
Originality: Even though I've given you five stars for all criterions, I believe 'originality' is the biggest strength of this. You have broken away from the typical conventions of graffiti. I'll explain further.
Technique: Your choice of medium is what makes 'about a new place' original. You opted for acrylic instead of aerosol paint which is commonly used to create graffiti. And your execution is amazing. I admit that I wondered how come after being in contact with rain the paint still remained. I did a little research and found on wikipedia that acrylic "become[s] water-resistant when dry."
Impact: Another element that makes this original is, as I mentioned in 'vision', it's characteristic of you. And your style is different from graffiti, in particular that found in hip hop culture. Of course it's not a matter of your style is better than typical graffiti or vice versa. I have a large respect for all artists who express themselves as individuals, regardless of whether I like their style or not. But I do like the soft femininity of this in the way you painted the butterflies, the colours, and the woman. I particularly love the paint drip effect, a trait inherent in your style.
You have brought your art to a new canvas, a wall. Brilliantly done.
