best street artists in the world

Escif holds down Valencia with poetic murals that hold attention longer than most because theres always more ways to interpret them. In his words, Im not looking for decorative paintings, I try to wake up viewers minds.

Not the first or entirely original (see Blek le Rat), but indisputably the most impactful in elevating street art from unknown to broad public consciousness.
