Abstract

The study on which this article was based describes the characteristics of graffiti art in the city of Puno, Peru 2019. The research was non-experimental, qualitative, descriptive, and analytical. The data collection instruments were the observation card and the camera. Three types of graffiti were found in the city of Puno: Wild Style, Graffiti tags with outlines, and tags. The artistic streams that were identified as influential on the works of Puno’s graffiti artists are symbolism, realism, surrealism and abstract. The Andean cosmovision can be seen in their works in the recurring call of the mythical Pachamama in constant reflection on their interaction with man, and how this interrelationship is expressed in dissimilar scenarios of reciprocity and/or antagonism.
