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.
