Mural Rotterdam West

‘Kunst in de Pupillenbuurt’ has been started by the neighborhood committee and the Municipality of Rotterdam to introduce and/or update artworks in this part of Rotterdam. I was asked to submit three illustrations which were discussed by the residents themselves. The residents expressed their preference for the following illustration. The execution of the mural was done by myself with the help of Anne Engelbarts.

Initiative by the Municipality of Rotterdam.

The illustration itself plays with the word ‘perspective’, both visually and conceptually – as seeing things in perspective or gaining new perspective. The image above shows the first sketch of the illustration.

Inspired by the nature of the neighborhood which consists of lively people and contrasting grey buildings, first thing I wanted to bring to this neighborhood was color.
