Back in 2019, Amsterdam Street Art organized a street art festival, If Walls Could Speak, that produced ten captivating murals painted on a row of large apartment buildings in Platanenweg in East Amsterdam. We had the opportunity to visit these hugely impressive murals while in Amsterdam earlier this month. The alluring image featured above — representing Amsterdam’s free spirit — was fashioned by Netherlands-based Niels van Swaemen and Kaspar van Leek, known collaboratively as Studio Giftig. Several more murals painted during this groundbreaking street art festival follow:
German artist Case Maclaim
Australian artist Smug One
UK-based Dan Kitchener
Netherlands-based Sjem Bakkus & IVES One
Netherlands-based Leon Keer
German artist HERA of Herakut
