Discover Näutil, the versatile street artist who draws inspiration from nature, the sea, and the spirit of freedom.
Growing up near the coast among blockhaus structures, Näutil began his journey in street art at the age of 14. He has since dedicated his life to creating art that moves people both poetically and geographically, leaving a lasting impact on the world around him. Follow Näutil on Instagram!
Born and raised in a coastal area with numerous blockhaus structures, Näutil found these massive, untouched walls to be the perfect canvas for his creative expressions. Alongside friends, he began to create graffiti on these blockhaus walls, taking pride in their work and always striving for more innovation and beauty. This was the beginning of a journey that would lead him to grow as an artist and explore new avenues of creativity.
As Näutil delved deeper into the world of street art, he began to realize that he could make a significant impact on people’s lives through his creations. He discovered that his art had the power to move people, both emotionally and physically, by inspiring them to visit and explore the spaces he transformed. This realization has fueled Näutil’s passion for creating meaningful and poetic art that touches the hearts and minds of those who encounter it.
One of Näutil’s favorite anecdotes perfectly encapsulates the magic of his art: while painting a seven-meter-high elephant on a blockhaus, a child inside the structure called out to his father, “Wait dad, I’m inside the elephant, I’m coming!” This heartwarming moment illustrates the power of Näutil’s art to spark the imagination and create a sense of wonder, allowing people of all ages to reconnect with the simple things that bring joy and fulfillment to their lives.

German artist Jan Vormann has turned the idea of fixing cracks in urban landscapes into a global movement with his Dispatchwork project.
Using colorful LEGO bricks, Vormann repairs crumbling walls and structures, transforming decay into vibrant art. His playful installations, found in over 40 cities, challenge us to see imperfections as opportunities for creativity.
Vormann began Dispatchwork in Bocchignano, Italy, in 2007, and his project quickly spread worldwide. By filling gaps and cracks in aging buildings with LEGO bricks, his work contrasts the weathered tones of old structures with the bright colors of modern play. Some installations use just a few bricks, while others incorporate thousands, creating an eye-catching patchwork of color.
How Jan Vormann Turns Cracks Into Colorful Masterpieces
Each repair tells its own story, inviting viewers to reflect on urban decay and restoration. What makes Dispatchwork unique is its collaborative nature: passersby are often encouraged to participate, adding their own LEGO creations to the repairs. This transforms each artwork into a shared expression of creativity between the artist and the community.
LEGO Art That Inspires and Connects Communities
Jan Vormann’s project reminds us that art isn’t limited to galleries—it can be part of the everyday world. His work brings smiles to those who encounter it and sparks conversations about urban imperfections. It’s proof that even small creative gestures can leave a big impact.

Näutil: I am forwarding a project that I’ve released these days, made with paint and graffiti bomb on 3D pattern, the basic idea was to revitalize an abandoned place full of history: a world war 2 blockhaus, collapsed, almost lying on its side. At first it was about to humanize this place with some poetry: before, the eye of the soldiers were watching the dead coming from the sea, and now there is this big blue eye, looking at the life and moves coming from waves movements, talks and answers, interactions of two creations coming from man and nature… And then also I’ve wanted to point out the damage that may make human at some sites (into the pupil, the silhouette of the nuclear power plant from La Hague).

I was born and raised where lots of blockhaus was already there, but without tag or street art on it. They was like enormous rock virgin and at my 14 years old, we started, me and friends, to graff on it, to be proud or ashamed if it was not enough inventive or nice, well it’s like someone who started to learn walking among other who are too, it was fun, interesting, challenging and poetical too. – näutil
Street art has change my life step by step because I started to realize that I was able to realize kind of a dream, well, a strong inner project: it was possible for me to ‘’move’’ people in both ways: poetically (well I hope so at least time to time) and geographically. – näutil
On of my favorite anecdote : a kid was inside the blockhaus where I have painted a big elephant (7 meter high) and then his father was calling him and he answer “wait dad, I’m inside the elephant, I’m coming !”. Well, it is very rewarding to provoke that kind of poetry, to help kids or people to reconnected themselves with little small thing that make souls and desires happy or filled. – näutil
