Bird

<div>Painted in september 2021. The motiv is Geir, a local bird watcher.<br>You can read what Nils says about the piece her:<br><br>&nbsp;<a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CUsWPpyM1bI/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==">https://www.instagram.com/p/CUsWPpyM1bI/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==</a></div>

Geir 

<div>Based on a picture of a good friend of the artist who had a baby in the middle of the pandemic. "I find myself bouncing between feelings of immense human connection, and a sort of dystopian sadness; and that is what I love about it. It contains all of the emotions of this last year in a way that is difficult to describe. One can be upset at the mask "ruining" this moment, or one can find the joy that these moments continue despite it all." : tells Nils</div>

<div>Facing the traintracks, you'll find this masterpiece by Nils for Pow Wow Roterdam 2021. Best view is from the overpass of the traintracks.<br><br>&nbsp;This is another in my line of pieces drawn from <a href="https://www.instagram.com/aesoprockwins/">@aesoprockwins</a> lyrics; this one being the short and sweet "sheep creep in wolf garb" from Save Yourself off of Labor Days. I did this as a stencil a few years ago and have been trying since to find a wall for it since, I was so glad when this one was offered to me in&nbsp;</div>

<div>On the backwall of "zaal Ten Hove" the Belgian-American artist Niles Westergard painted a giant girl with a candle.<br>Nils always paints in black and white, and for tis work he only used color to emphasize the warmth of the candle.<br><br>Part of Nils' family lives close by and was a sort of homecoming for him.<br><br>This second big mural in Deinze, organised by 'Kraft collective' and Stad Deinze fits in the ambition of the city to create more of these colored walls.<br><br><br></div>
