Last weekend we had the great pleasure of having our dear friend @hera_herakut over to paint the wall for our project at 5 Rue Poissoniere in Paris. Curated by @droos86 and @eddiecolla . Once again, merci beaucoup Hera!
A new year. A new chapter. Different, but driven by the same passion. In 2026, my focus is on three pillars that give me the most energy:
Curation. Management. Agency.
I ended 2025 with a project in the centre of Paris: Verticle 75, curated together with longtime friend Eddie Colla. Two walls transform every three months through rotating artists. Alongside Verticle 75, I’m currently working on several new (co)curation collaborations too!
Over the last few months, I’ve partnered with seven artists. My focus is working closely with each artist to build the most sustainable career possible. Through long-term thinking, strategy, and strong collaboration.
I’m truly grateful to the artists who have already joined me and trusted in the value of partnership:
Zane Prater, Taquen, Daniel Mac Lloyd, Rene Konings, Eddie Colla, Mr. Cenz and Reka.
A few more artists will be joining in the coming months, so stay tuned!
Last but not least: the agency.
My focus is connecting the world’s leading urban artists with local and international initiatives — bringing bold, striking and widely recognised artworks into both public spaces and brands.

Naxos, that’s a wrap! Good times chilling at the beach, exploring the island and painting my first piece. A long way to go, but @droio_ is just getting started. Obrigado for the masterclass broodi @alexsenna . Droio is coming to São Paulo 🙌🏻. Thanks to @hotel_dimitra for the hospitality and the ladder, of course. If you ever go to Naxos, Greece: make sure to stay with them! Athens, here we come! • #streetart #graffiti #naxos #island #greece #rose #bleedingrose #love #art #droio #blood #streetphotography
On the train back to Rotterdam, scrolling through the photos of this weekend’s wall for @Verticle75 together with @hera_herakut .
The mural turned into something truly beautiful, as always with Hera’s work. So much talent, soul, and love poured into every single piece she creates. Grateful for the opportunity to work side by side yet again.
Big thanks as well to @eddiecolla@rachel_riot_designs and @livressbarparis for the energy and support.
Until next time, Paris!

Several years ago I did this agency project in Amsterdam with @millo (and @redpokemon ).
A lot of fun, a lot of work, and one of those projects that still sticks with me.
When passion, talent and vision come together, the results always hit different.
As I shared in last week’s post: 2026 is going to be all about my three pillars: curation, management and agency.
And with the agency side, my mission is clear:
to build a bridge between inter(national) top-tier artists and brands or communities that want something unforgettable. Building a project from idea to beauty.
So if you’re looking for a mural, a commissioned painting, or customized merchandise for your brand/community/event.. Shoot me a DM or visit to learn more!

Last Friday, I started this new project, called Verticle 75 (@verticle75 ) together with @eddiecolla . A changing wall, in the center of Paris. Every 3 months a new artist.
The incredible @latlas_official was the first artist to transform our wall, bringing his signature energy and style to life.
A big thank you to everyone who stopped by. During the day and at the opening.
See you at the next event! (and drop me a DM if you would like to be the next artist).

When a dream becomes reality, and reality becomes a memory.
Over the last 7/8 years I’ve been part of this project and we’ve turned it in something incredible. A milestone in the street art and graffiti history. Something we can all be proud of. STRAAT gave me a lot, and I sure gave it my all!
To those who stood by me unconditionally, I am sending you much love. I will sincerely miss all the crazy, funny and happy moments we had. And we had so many of them. You always have a place in my heart. ‘Ciao for now’.
And to all the artists. My dear friends. We lived it, and I loved it! I couldn’t have done it without all of our true friendships, trust and dedication. I wouldn’t have done it any other way. I am sure we’ll see each other along the way. This journey just began, and you haven’t seen the last of me.
STRAAT, I am out.
Much love,
David
‘Between storm and heaven’ ~ 2025
While coming up with this title, I had no idea that there was a meaning behind this phrase until I discovered it later on the internet. ‘The transition from a difficult period to a more peaceful one’. A perfect coincidence, I would say…
