The Arts District in Downtown Los Angeles is one of the gems of LA, where Artists from all around use different surfaces as canvases for all kinds of colorful art. You can spend all day there and not see even half of all the different art painted on walls, street signs, polls, the ground and more. I focused on capturing the art from different angles, putting more of a focus on the contrast in colors than on the art itself. To make the art, art. Enjoy!

Contrasting colors with street art and red painted bars.
Graffiti art with an ombre coloring. Bright green leaves against the foggy sky.
The All Night Diner. Com Bus.
Woman staring into the distance painted onto a wall. Vibrant colors painted on the wall contrast with the sky.
Still street art with a lot of action.
An abandoned truck behind bars. Pouring sugar water into some coffee.
One last vision of the city behind bars.
