In the bustling streets of Caracas, Wolfgang Salazar is turning blank walls into vibrant canvases of hope. The Venezuelan artist’s larger-than-life murals—featuring local heroes, frontline workers, and everyday residents—are becoming symbols of resilience during the pandemic.
Salazar, who picked up a spray can to combat the gloom of lockdowns, told local media: \"Art reminds us we’re not alone.\" His works, often created overnight, depict masked nurses, smiling elders, and children flying kites—a nostalgic nod to pre-COVID life.
Why it matters: As Venezuela faces economic challenges and prolonged restrictions, Salazar’s art offers a free, open-air gallery that unites communities. Residents now track his \"guerrilla art\" drops like Marvel movie releases!
Global youth connect: From Bogotá to Bangkok, street art has become a universal language of pandemic solidarity. Got a local artist brightening your city? Tag us!
