My hood

(Text by Tymon de Laat) 

It only took 3.5 years to get this project done in my own neighbourhood When we all went into lockdown and most of my paint jobs were postponed I was staring out of my window and saw this wall that needed some love. It took some persistance to get it off the ground but due to a big help of my lovely fellow Heer Vrankestraat people it is now a fact.

2.5 meter x 3 meter x 4. Spray paint on electricity house. Soetendaalseplein, Rotterdam. Tymon de Laat 2023 

Here we see a portrait of a girl I photographed in Trinidad Cuba. She was sitting on the trunk of a classic cars as you can find many of them on the island. I decided to paint a child as this wall is situated in the playground. A big thanks goes out to the @gemeenterotterdam for supporting this project and a ofcourse to all my neighbours for pushing this project to a succes.
