Through the municipality of Delft, the residents of the Hagedissingel had asked whether the Open Dutch Fiber local exchange could be given an appearance that suited the street scene a lot better. Together with the residents, the company came up with a solution and the result is absolutely impressive!

Dopie (‘83) is a well-known artist who has been active in the Dutch street art scene for over twenty years. Inspired by the graffiti on the subway cars in his hometown Amsterdam, he started exploring his artistic talents, painting his Dopie moniker on concrete walls and trains. Wanting to push his boundaries, a few years later he started practicing elaborate characters. This led to the development of his characteristic photorealistic style.

Nowadays, Dopie’s work is a well-balanced mixture of realism and more traditional graffiti. He is especially known for his use of bold colors and his remarkable depiction of a wide variety of animals. Since 2004, Dopie has been able to turn his art into a career. His work (spraypaint, acrylics, 3D artwork) can be found in many places.
