Its creators try to send a critical message to society , surprise, make a political critique or just create something beautiful.
Although graffiti is one of the most popular expressions of urban art , street theater or street music are also worthy representatives .

Pipsqueak are two artists, William and Denise. We wanted to ask the authors about how bees came inside the message they want to convey and why they chose the facade of a new modern hotel to paint it.
– How do you plan what you are going to paint? New hotels are a good place to show your work?
The image you saw as a mural was beforehand planned in a drawing. We made a drawing to fit the spaces on each side of the big central windows.The images were collaged and combined until we liked the image. We use a variety of stencils and take measurements to get every part in the right place.
The hotel seems to be a great spot, you noticed it, didn’t you? It is the first time we paint up a hotel, so no experience on that behalf. It is great that this mural gives people from all over the world a small peek into our painting.
– Why did you include bees and bumblebees in your paintings? What do you want to transmit with them?
The image includes the bees because we realize the great importance of this lovely animal.It plays an important role which is resembled in the title.Paper, scissors, rock is an illustration of the struggle between forces of nature and their relations.Everything in nature is related but the title suggests the ongoing struggle.We hope to put an emphasis on the value of peaceful co-existence.
