The project of the graffiti artist Valery Veselinov on the theme “Energy is you“ was selected as the winner of the first contest organized by Elektrohold and Sofia Graffiti Tour. The work was realized on a substation as part of the SOFIA URBAN ART festival, which took place on May 18-19 in the city of Sofia. Dozens of works by street artists competed for the first place in the competition.
“The work is inspired by the motto of the contest and man as a source of creative energy,” said Valery, who is a student at the National Academy of Arts. The work contains graffiti in Cyrillic "Your energy!", with the first letter depicting the stylized logo of Electrohold. Electrical energy is represented in the form of lightning and arcs around the graphite. The colors give additional energy to the work.
Besides the opportunity to implement his project on a substation owned by ERM Zapad, with a size of 34 m2, the winner also received a cash prize - a voucher for the purchase of paints worth BGN 500.
„Turning power facilities into platforms for works of art not only creates a more beautiful and inspiring urban environment, but also contributes to the protection of these facilities from vandalism. That's why Electrohold readily encourages the creative performances of street artists, said Vasil Vassilev, director of "Operation and Maintenance". in ERM Zapad, which is part of Electrohold.
„I am happy to present the award to the talented young artist and wish him success and future joint projects”, said Vladimir Valchev from the “Operation and Maintenance” Directorate.
