Isabel di Boneiru

 
Recently finished this portait of Isabel on the island of Bonaire. She is the daughter of @nikkysophie1 (dutch)and Kharlox (colombian) who run a bike rental shop on the beautiful tropical island just in front of Venezuela. Isabel is full of character and charming girl that has a native bird from that region called a Trupial sitting on her hand. With this wall I want to represent 3 cultures in one image coming together and living in harmony.

For me painting in small communities like this one with only 22.000 inhabitants is what I like most. The impact a mural makes here is more tangible and many people came by to show support and to thank for making their island even prettier.

Thank you Nikky, Kharlox, Arrie and the whole team of scooters Bonaire for letting me paint this wall on the busiest street on the island and showing me so much appreciation and hospitality. You made my stay even more special. The 5 weeks I have been there flew by.
