Mural painting and graffiti is a recent artistic trend in Peru, since 1980s when its reproduction becomes more frequent in two forms; the "cult" with abstract and figurative proposals from renowned artists trained in official art schools, and the "popular" sometimes inspired by ancestral cultures and created by amateurs.

​

Graffiti began to develop in the 1990s when kids started to walk the streets of Lima and to bombard them with their name or “tags”. It is more or less in '98, when the first graffiti contest organized by the municipality of Miraflores took place and the 'boom' of Peruvian graffiti would explode. It is at this time that the first generation of Peruvian graffiti artists was born.
