Grafitiksi

Grafitiksi is a Finnish term that describes a specific style of graffiti art. It generally refers to stylized lettering and characters created using spray paint, often incorporating vibrant colors and intricate designs. While "graffiti" itself is a broad term encompassing various forms of street art, grafitiksi highlights the artistic and decorative aspects of the lettering and imagery, emphasizing skill and visual appeal.

The term is not strictly defined and can be used somewhat broadly within the Finnish graffiti scene. It often implies a more polished and visually engaging approach compared to simple tags. Artists practicing grafitiksi may focus on developing unique font styles, creating elaborate character designs, or combining lettering with illustrative elements. The style can draw inspiration from traditional graffiti techniques, comic book art, and graphic design.

Grafitiksi can be found on various surfaces, including walls, trains, and other urban structures. It is a significant part of Finland's contemporary street art landscape, contributing to the visual culture of its cities. The practice often involves a deep understanding of spray paint techniques, color theory, and composition.
