Wow! The everywhere art in Valparaiso Chile exceeds it’s reputation for being arguably the best street art in the world.
There is so much amazing talent to share with you, but let’s start here, this is the front door of the ‘Café of the Artist,’ painted by a male Chilean art student depicting everyday scenes from the town of Valparaiso.
The waiter explained to me that the art in this restaurant was painted by two art students, one a French female whose mind boggling talent you are looking at now. (Please click to enlarge).
Since internet is slow, I can’t look these artists up, but I will when I can.
Maybe you can find out for me?
All I know is pure talent when I see it.
The first two paintings of the café sign and the entry door were done by the Chilean student, and are depictions of Valparaiso, as is the one above.
Here is another mural focusing on culture and heritage.
I didn’t take photos of the food which is a shame because I was too distracted by the art, but the food was ethereal. If you come to Valparaiso, eat here and bring your camera.
Cheers from Valparaiso, the city of living art and excellent food~
Wow! You are absolutely right: incredible art!
Yes, and it is everywhere!
Best street art in the world, indeed! Appreciate your effort for the post, while traveling this beautiful part of the world. 🙂 ❤
So thoughtful Amy. Cheers to you & be well ❤

Thank you Charles & cheers to you from Chile!
Wow!! Simply amazing.
Yes, and the art is everywhere!
Oh wow Cindy, that artwork is absolutely incredible! I often wished that more cities in the US embraced street art; can you imagine how beautiful the everyday commute would be?
I never can understand why the US is so afraid of color, but now that I just wrote this, I guess I see the obvious and disheartening reason. Yes, please bring on the color and the street art to American cities. And while we are at it, lets have cars in colors other than, white, grey, black, and red!
More color would be greatly appreciated!
These are wonderful art works!
I am glad you like them!
If the city ever feels a need to boost tourism, it would do well to get permission to use your colorful and detailed photos, and to adopt the tag line ending this post:
Valparaiso, the city of living art and excellent food
Good idea! It would catch my attention.

Ahhh, so nice of you. Thank you. I would do whatever I could to support the artists of Valparaiso. ❤
Very amazing, Cindy! Would be a pleasure to have a cup of coffee there. 😉 Thank you again for sharing these wonderful images. Best wishes, Michael
Thank you Michael & cheers to you from Chile~

Thank you for your thoughtfulness & for appreciating these artists talent!
Wonderful!!!
Happy you enjoyed!
I really think that street art has created a Renaissance of a sort, Cindy, by opening up art to so much raw talent and by providing a opportunity for exposure and growth. It’s what I see at Burning Man and murals everywhere. –Curt
Agree completely!
Wow.
❤

Great art, thank you for sharing. And it is summer there, great timing!
The weather has been lovely!
Wow, I never realized there is such an active art scene In Valparaiso. Too bad it isn’t that way everywhere!
We could use much more of this in the US . Make Art, Not Violence!
Yes!
YES!!
Wow is right, Cindy! Incredible art which just tugged at me as I stared and stared. I didn’t know where not to look!!
The city is just full of this incredible art, creating this sense of art as a normal component of everyday life ❤
Wow!… 🙂
This is my reaction ❤

Love to you sweet Paul. I feel so far away, here in the islands off Peru, but then I talk to you. ❤

Muchas gracias ❤
Incredible talent! Prefer this vibrant art to the pricey museums.
Yes! Plus it is living art, not stuck in a dusty museum, with guards. It is part of your everyday life if you live and walk in Valparaiso Chile.
Also the city of funiculars (or as they call them ascensors)- a few of which are still in operation.
Yes! I road them. Amazing!
I’m a sucker for those cat/cougar pictures!
I know. They just bliss me out. ❤
Good gravy, that is some impressive artwork. I wouldn’t be able to leave for days. WOW!!!!
Which is exactly why we stayed so long. Hugs to you Marlene ❤
wow…Wow…WOW!!
🙂 ❤
