Belgian Sign Painters

While exploring Belgium's creative scene, I discovered an incredible community of traditional sign painters keeping centuries-old craftsmanship alive. These artists hand-paint everything from shop facades to vintage vehicles, blending timeless techniques with modern business needs. Their stories of passion, skill, and entrepreneurship inspired me to create this 10-minute documentary showcasing four masters of their craft across Belgium.
