Between the metro stations Spijkenisse Centrum and Heemraadlaan, 16 sets of grey metro pillars and 2 murals have been transformed into colourful graffiti illustrations with the rainbow theme LGBTQ+ and nature. We were 2 of the 10 artists who participated in the metro pillar street art project of Spijkenisse, municipality of Nissewaard and are honoured to transform 2 pillar sets into a red and violet one.

Our red set of metro pillars stands for the colourful diversity of people in the shades of red and turquoise with fantasy elements of nature. The red set is right in front of metro station Heemraadlaan, the first set of the street art promenade if you walk towards the next metro station Spijkenisse Centrum.

The second violet pillar set ‘Pinky Promise’ is a sweet universal gesture of a promise, a vow or hope between two persons. The background refers to the green area of Nissewaard and longing for nature for city dwellers. 

This project created an unique art promenade of 200 meter to walk along the various street art works in the colours of a rainbow. During the walk you also pass 3 special designed concrete benches, where passengers can have a rest and enjoy more of the art works. During the opening of the project we were asked to paint spray live one of the benches. You can found our public bench including a matching trash can somewhere in the middle of the route :). 

For us it was a super amazing experience to join this project, because of the professional graffiti artists who joined from whom we learned a lot and it was fantastic to work all together in something positive for the whole neighbourhood!
