Pedantic, I know, but this is a mural not graffiti. Graffiti, from Italian for scribble, is writing. A mural, from Latin murus for wall, painting is a painting done directly on a wall. Even colloquially, graffiti is usually used for unsanctioned, often illegal, painting. This looks like the city specifically asked for the painting. Quite pretty, though.

My apologies, I'm usually using popular terms, not high intellectual.. and my English is not good also. Internet said it is graffiti means - picture on walls so i use this word as more popular and understandable :)
Fair enough. And your English is good. The difference is subtle and not something I would expect someone with English as a secondary language to think about much unless they were very focused on art.
Ya cut off the name! Got a shot of the purple stuff to the left?
This mural is a section of an artwork titled "Gaia" painted by street artist Yeto (yeto_140) during the SOFIA URBAN ART 2025 festival.
From left another graffiti - there many walls fully covered by them.
