Taquen
Spanish artist Taquen converted an blind wall into a true work of art. A tribute to Jan Van Eyck, this mural in soft pastel and earthy tones blends in perfectly with the city’s historical background.
This artwork is more than welcome for the municipal staff members who work in this building. This can admire this work from their terrace every day.
The terrace is not publicly accessible, but the mural is visible from the Castle of the Counts.
Taquen is a visual artist from Madrid. According to him, urban art is a suitable instrument for positive transformation and social cohesion. Involving the community in the process is an important aspect of his work. His works are based on his own experiences and relationship with nature, where he spends most of his time. Taquen uses natural elements as metaphors for human problems, relationships, feelings and instincts.
