Street Artist Anck Millan Renews the City’s Spirit with Abstract Graffiti

Based in Santiago de Cali, Colombian artist Anck Millan heads into the guts of the city to renew its spirit with his colorful abstract graffiti murals. Incorporating elements of geometry, abstract art and decorative patterns, Millan builds his murals around human figures and human ideas. His art is an abstract reflection of the society they exist in, expressing the thoughts, feelings, hopes and ambitions of the people who pass by his art on a daily basis.

Anck Millan has a variety of styles that he uses in his street art murals. While this makes it tricky to spot one of his pieces, it does mean that street art enthusiasts are treated to a wider range of visual stimulus when viewing an image gallery of his work. Take a look at this selection of inspirational graffiti murals by Anck Millan, and take a moment to appreciate that so much talent is packed into one human being:
