The artwork belongs to a well-known series of mosaic graffiti in Ludwigshafen am Rhein. It shows a green Koopa shell (Grüner Panzer) from Nintendo's world-famous Super Mario video game series.
The creator is unknown. In local media and on social media, this anonymous individual is often referred to as the "Phantom of Ludwigshafen" or the "Banksy of LU." In fact, the style is heavily inspired by the world-renowned street art of the French artist Invader.
Similar pixel art pieces are scattered throughout the city.
