I love Bucharest team of artists already changed the atmosphere of Gara de Nord metro station.

Bucharest metroArt is a pilot project and an invitation for public institutions, private an civil initiatives to come up with and develop new artistic and cultural projects in and for the public space in the capital city of Romania.
Every night between July 21 and August 2, starting with the departure of the last train until the arrival of the very first one in the morning, 20 artists painted 9 areas in the metro station, covering over 120 sqm.
The project aimed for a change in the rather austere atmosphere of the station using an eclectic theme, combining elements of the interwar period of Bucharest and contemporary visual elements. Also, it wanted to create a specific visual identity for the station and to offer the passengers and tourists a particular sight in their daily circuit or during their visit in Bucharest. The theme was chosen by the I love Bucharest team together with SC METROREX SA, based on a public survey carried on in April.

The team worked every night for a fortnight, using sprays and paints and depicted the theme previously chosen by the metro passengers and approved by Metrorex: the old and new Bucharest.
