Nol

NOLart is the artistic identity of Dutch artist Michael Nolta. His work moves between street art, screen printing and graphic illustration, combining bold characters with strong compositions. He is known for a visual language built on simplified forms, expressive eyes and powerful color contrasts that communicate emotion in a direct and playful way.
Screen printing is central to his practice. Nol produces limited edition prints by hand, layering inks to create tactile images with depth and clarity. The physical process is essential, each piece balancing graphic precision with the raw qualities of ink and paper.
Alongside his studio work, Nol creates murals in public space. His large scale pieces translate the same graphic strength onto walls, using bold shapes and vibrant colors that remain clear and recognizable from a distance.
A recurring element in his work is the “bumper” character, a compact figure that appears across prints, murals and objects. It represents curiosity, humor and a slightly rebellious attitude, while evolving throughout his projects.
By combining influences from street culture, graphic design and printmaking, Nol creates work that feels direct, accessible and unmistakably personal, focused on clarity, character and strong visual impact.
