“Childhood”

"CHILDHOOD" The work is part of the "Let's raise the mural!" project, which is sustained by the Buzău City Hall and the Alexandru Marghiloman Cultural and Educational Center. The project aims to paint the facades of blocks, schools, kindergartens and high schools in Buzău with contemporary mural art through which to convey positive, educational, ecological messages in a high-quality artistic form, at international standards of street art. The purpose of these paintings is to beautify the overall appearance of the city through these large-scale works of art, painted on facades with increased visibility, while also inspiring passers-by towards positive thinking and creativity. The impact of this type of street art has proven to be very beneficial all over the world, and it is starting to gain momentum in Romania as well, through street art festivals that take place in more and more cities, year after year. The effects of quality urban art are considered important and valuable for the general condition of the inhabitants, and for the education of children, for the overall appearance of a city, and for increasing tourism prospects. The artistic concept of the work "Childhood" represents the image of childhood, especially at preschool age, the age of play and imagination. "Childhood" is part of the "Openness" collection, started in 2018. The basic concept of the collection is that behind each portrait there is a story. It was created by Cristian Scutaru, one of the best known and most talented contemporary mural artists in Romania, having dozens, if not hundreds of walls painted all over the country, with paintings with inspired messages and a characteristic style of work. The work was completed on the 10th of June 2023.
