Michiel Folkers

Michiel Folkers (1982) is a Dutch mixed-media artist known internationally for his powerful combination of street art, collage, and pop culture. His work is created from layers of torn posters, paint, and iconic images, through which he captures a raw, urban energy that is instantly recognizable.

Folkers began in the 1990s as a graffiti artist and evolved into a studio-based artist with a distinct style: dynamic, colorful, and layered. His popular teddy bear series and figurative collages are collected and exhibited worldwide, from Amsterdam to New York and São Paulo.

With his blend of street aesthetics and refined composition, Folkers creates art that is both accessible and distinctly contemporary—beloved by private collectors, corporations, and international galleries.
