Wall painting Dok Leeuwenborg (Muurschildering DOK Lewenborg)
Michel Velt
About this artwork.
The rear facade of Wijkcentrum Het Dok is decorated with a mural in which playful 3D drawn shapes interact with the fluttering butterflies around blue-colored flowers and a honeycomb.
The artwork was made by Michel Velt.
Michel Velt (1986) Velt started with graffiti at a young age. He learned to paint at the art academy Minerva and was inspired by art from the Jugendstil period. This art movement arose around 1890 and aimed to create a more beautiful world and better society through art. Characteristic is the use of graceful elements, for which inspiration was taken from nature; floral and animal motifs are a common theme.
Velt's mission is in line with the earlier artists of the Jugendstil: to make the world more beautiful through art. His colorful paintings can be seen in various (world) cities, including London, New York and Berlin.
