Building a positive future

Artist Lily Brick brought her powerful artworks to the Waterwijk area!
Lily Brick was born in Lleida in 1990. She studied Advertising Graphic Design in her hometown. For five years, she worked as a designer for different companies and organizations. Later she was the director of a printing company, where she managed staff, resources and coordinated the design area. After two years at the head of this printing company, she began to explore new ways of channeling her artistic interests, in that search, she discovered spray paint. Her first works were in the public gardens of Lleida and on the outskirts of the city. The discovery of these works by curious observers in the middle of rural landscapes led to the beginning of her profession and her first commissioned mural. The images of her works quickly spread on social networks and soon went viral, which made her art become widely known.

10 years later, street art has become her passion. More than 300 works in very different parts of the world bear Lily’s signature.

With her murals, she is inspired by humanity and tries to focus on the looks of strong women, whose gazes reflect humanity and power. Since she entered the world of street art, the main techniques she has developed have been spray paint, acrylic paint, brushes and rollers.

Lily about her mural in Lelystad: “We have tried to avoid reflecting local folklore to make the mural more inclusive for the neighbors. It depicts an anecdotal image, representing the innocence of a child playing on the beach, who represents the present and the future. Instead of using the typical sandcastle mold, the child is building a sand house
