This mural was designed by artist Max Kisman and painted by the art collective De Strakke Hand, commissioned by the residents of Draaiweg and the Municipality of Utrecht.
Max Kisman describes the artwork as “a tribute to strong women who carry the entire world on their shoulders.”
My passion for murals began in 2019. I read a newspaper article about Jan is de Man, who had created a mural in Utrecht. It depicted a bookcase (on Mimosastraat). Local residents had been asked what their favorite book was and whether he could include it on the bookshelf.
After my retirement, I started organizing cycling tours past twenty beautiful, large murals in Utrecht, and more recently also in Nieuwegein. It’s great fun to do!
