What the creator captured
Davud Akhundzada found the village of Staro Zhelezare to be a unique open-air gallery where professional art and student projects uplift the local atmosphere. He was particularly impressed by the purposeful combination of cartoon characters, world leaders, and celebrities painted on the village walls. He concluded that renting a car is the most effective way to reach these less-explored, artistic rural areas in Bulgaria.
