”Pichação“ X Grafitte arts

”Pichação“ is a Brazilian term for the art that is formed by elements

such as signs and scribbles, that follow their own aesthetic and use
the black ink. In Brasil this art has the own language, facilitating the
communication and recognition among the tagets or “pichadores”. The
main idea of this art is to show the social, politi and ideological
contrast of the society.

Graffiti has more drawing elements, more colorful and less signs.
 Graffiti X “Pichação“

Graffiti are more accepted by society because they are more aesthetically understandable drawings and
for making the places where they are, more cheerful. The “Piches” are less accepted because of the
characteristic of bothering and generating discomfort with what they want to show and that’s why they
end up being considered vandalism and crime
