Beaver

This mural was part of a larger community project, funded by the city of Leuven (kom op voor je wijk). The theme was local fauna, people from the neighborhood provided a list of common animals in the area. As it happens I had made an oil painting of a beaver a few years earlier, and this interesting animal was on that list, so I suggested replicating my oil painting on the facade.

I tried to maximize the use of the space and portray the beaver in its most favorable environment, water, to create the feeling of a large aquarium. Allowing the color and texture of the bricks to come through adds another layer, I like to expose whatever surface I'm working on and make it come together.
