THE WIND CARIES HER NAME 💎 The Lady in Blue doesn’t ask for attention, she holds it. A quiet presence, impossible to miss when you see her in the dark. There’s movement in the stillness, the wind in her hair, the expression in her gaze, the energy you only notice when you slow down. 👉 And … suddenly theres that moustache she unasked received from someone. What do you see when you look at her? Thanks @riannijssen and @lflorenti for passing by 🙏🏼 #ndsm #painting #muurschildering #graffiti #streetart mural www:simbl.nl @simbl_art

RESIST / LYNX (Night session) Good evening. I couldn’t forget to photograph this wall in the dark as well. During a car shoot in front of NDSM graffiti, people were kind to help illuminate our mural a bit with their carlight. 🙏🏼 The📍NDSM wharf is a wonderful place for night photography. Swipe for these photos ... Resist letters: @yorkone.art Lynx image: @simbl_art #ndsm #straatmuseum #muurschildering #streetart mural www:simbl.nl

RESIST / LYNX This artwork deals with societal pressure and polarization, where opinions become increasingly strong and the loudest voices often receive the most attention. It also shows how difficult it can be to remain true to yourself while being constantly influenced by others, for example through social media or societal expectations. The idea of “resist” is therefore not only about outward resistance, but also about the personal choice to stay true to oneself. In this context, the lynx symbolizes keen observation, independent thinking, and the ability to see through appearances. The artwork invites you to reflect on your own choices and to remain true to who you are.

Sunday Beauty by @simbl_art for @kingsofcolors Spring of Colors' Graffiti Jam 2026 (1/5) Please read more 👇 Swipe for a close-up shot, w.i.p. shots and for a bit more sunny capture 👉 . . Let me take you to 's-Hertogenbosch this week, for the third Spring of Colors' Graffiti Jam that took place last Saturday, April 4 at @hofdenbosch . Jan Stel (Purmerend 1970), artist name Simbl (Symbol), is a versatile artist, he is active in several creative fields with a passion for street art and graffiti. Simbl has a background with drawing and painting. From an early age there has been a drive to make beautiful creative expressions and he has worked with many art materials over the years. In addition to street art, he is also a photographic artist, represented by 2 art galleries. In the "old school" days (1988) he started to spray illegally. This only lasted for a short time. The production of full-color walls is his passion. Simbl does make street art on walls, (wooden) panels, canvas and whatever the customer prefers. The aim is not only to decorate the objects artistically, but also to attract and connect with the people who work, live or pass by daily. For Simbl, art is a way to express himself creatively, and doing wall paintings is what makes him feel alive. Special shout out here to @janhenk_van_ieperen @roos_giethoorn and @stefan_van_ham for organizing the event, for the invitation and for taking such good care of us all, artists ánd photographers. 📍Wim van Heumenplantsoen . . #simblart #kingsofcolors #denboschstreetart #rndenboschrn #riannijssen_simbl

In De Nieuwe Tuinderij-West, Zuidoostbeemster, a plain white Delta glasfiber utility has been transformed into a colorful little gem. Residents asked me to design something that better fit the neighborhood’s green character. I have painted a classic Beemster landscape with sheep, a blossoming tree and a small river, echoing how the area once looked.

#mural by the #dutchartist Jan Stel aka @simbl_art @spot__13 , Paris, France . This stunning mural explores duality, light and dark, peace and chaos, through the symbolism of the white dove and black raven. Executed in hyperrealistic style, it evokes deep emotion and introspection. .
