For some reason, graffiti and its aesthetics tend to be associated more frequently with men than with women.

These are, according to our criteria and without the intention of detracting from other artists, the top 5 female graffiti artists in the world!

“I believe that art should be seen in all possible places, to bring a white wall to life and turn it into a story. My passion is to create, to be available to tell a story with my hands and make it visible to everyone. Images that involve you in that story. That feeling is what makes me love being an artist.”
