About Tile Urban Blue | Madi

This tile was created on the occasion of Urban Blue – from Bricks to Tiles, the exhibition at the Royal Delft Museum from March 7 to August 23, 2026. This exhibition brings together the worlds of Delft Blue and street art. For this special project, six international street artists, selected by Straat Museum, translate their signature style into world-famous Delft Blue earthenware.

Six international artists merge tradition and innovation into a contemporary, urban visual language. Claudio Limon, Keya Tama, Madi, Ryol, Speto, and Tja Ling Hu each designed a tile with its own character and story. Together, they form a unique series that invites you to collect.

About Madi

Madi (b. 1987), currently living in Lisbon (Portugal), develops her style through graphic research, combining painting and mural techniques. As an artist, she is constantly trying to evolve. Previously, her work was black and white, full of meticulous details. Now, she surrounds herself with a colorful process, less controlled, less calculated, and in a way, instinctive. As a result, her creative process is strongly shaped by the concept of spontaneity. Producing drawings is an obsessive endeavor, a reflection of the journey she takes through her own mind. It results in imaginary figures, textures, sensations, dreams, and fantasies.

This is an intimate and endearing process. She paints because she needs to. The viewer enjoys the realization of a private universe, free from limitations. As if she is searching for absolute peace, a task that can only be completed through painting.

Van Bakstenen naar Tegels

The subtitle from Bricks to Tiles refers to the creative leap made by six international street artists: from the surfaces they know best to the world-famous earthenware of Royal Delft. During two artistic residencies they brought their own visual language together with the centuries-old tradition of Delft Blue.

Artists in Residence

Artists in Residence

The first residency took place in November, when the artists worked live in a temporary studio inside Royal Delft Museum. This produced six monumental tile panels in which the expressive power of street art meets iconic Delft Blue.

The step into 3D

The step into 3D

In addition, each artist painted a selection of objects from the Royal Delft collection in the characteristic cobalt blue, complemented with polychrome colours and gold decoration. In doing so they made the step from a flat surface to three-dimensional objects.

The Mural

The Mural

This special exhibition was created in collaboration with STRAAT Museum Amsterdam, the museum for street art and graffiti on the iconic NDSM wharf. By combining the expertise of both museums, two contrasting art worlds meet in a unique presentation where tradition and contemporary street art come together.

The hands behind the object

Where every stroke still comes from a human hand.

In our Delft atelier, every piece is still painted by hand. Each brushstroke carries the focus, patience, and craft of the painter behind it — a human signature on every object.
