Аrt is one of the paths to connect with the universe and reach higher vibration of energy. Art inspires you to look at the world around you from a different perspective. Art is the language of the soul and can bring us to destinations which we never thought existed.

There is a village in Bulgaria where the inspiration of the students from the University of Arts in Poznan has created new reality for all locals and visitors. With the colors and creative ideas their art brings back to life the old walls of Staro Zhelezare and transform the streets into an open air gallery for contemporary art and graffiti.

Are you ready to meet Albert Einstein? He will remind you to choose carefully your thoughts and to laugh more.

Steve Jobs encourages you to believe more in yourself and your ideas, to stay focused and work on your dreams.

In this Bulgarian village you can sit on one bench with Fidel Castro and Indira Gandhi. Karl Lagerfeld is there too with his famous cat Choupette Lagerfeld. So she can “spin yarn” with the local grandmas (In Bulgarian the word is the same for purring) and he finds inspiration from the Bulgarian traditional folklore costumes for his new fashion collection for Chanel.

On the other corner Vasil Levski and Hristo Botev (Bulgarian Revival leaders and revolutionaries) are looking at you and asking ‘What did you do for the others? Don’t think that you will lose yourself.’

Mike Tyson is letting go a white dove and send us the message that in every one of us there is power and kindness.

Donald Trump is enjoying the unique local transport and meeting the public.

The art in Staro Zhelezare is meeting us with leaders from the past and today from all over the word. The art unites the people and there is no separation by nationality, political party, religion or music, which you like. The quite voice of this art makes you think and laugh at the same time long after you have left the village Staro Zhelezare. It makes you feel alive and inspires you that every moment you could change your life with a little bit of color and imagination. Oh, yes, Beatles are there too…
