Facolt is a specialist in women’s graffiti, often depicting the intimate parts of a woman’s body. According to the artist, initially she drew a giant vagina on pike street. After its creation she came up with the idea to create a mural for a couple, so she decided to draw a penis near his first works.

«Many of my paintings, including these, to not be ashamed of their body and sexual nature,» she continued. «To talk about it in a public space is a prerequisite for healthy, non-violent community or the world.»

The artist is the eternal struggle for the freedom of expression of sexuality in street art. But despite some setbacks (like this time), her ideas find support from dignitaries. for Example, the Director of a secondary school in the Swedish city of Nykoping called for the preservation on the wall of the institution Facolt graffiti depicting a vagina.
