Street Art Graffiti

Noe Toe a street artist in Paris created this graffiti masterpiece. I love the artistic motion behind it, the work is a portrait and every detail has been perfected. If anyone can stand there and say this is not street art, it is pure graffiti should roll over in their grave. This does not appear as graffiti apart from the usual tags. The colours in the piece are rainbow like and show a girl from Phuket, provided by the tag. The rainbow colours could represent that there is gold at the end of the rainbow and one day she won't have to live on the streets. The girl looks somewhat happy wearing a slight grin, however her eyes reveal sadness. She is possibly poor and spends her time living on the streets which could indicate why she is on a wall in the streets. The wreckage in the background could represent her country and imply distortion with uncertainty when the painting is first viewed. There is no doubt about it, this is a piece of art only the tags imply graffiti. Although, aren't the tags just there like artists names are inscribed in the corners of paintings?
