Muurschildering van kunstenares Elleke van Win op de muur van Freinetschool De Pit.

Het idee om de muur te beschilderen kwam van de leerlingen zelf. De kunstenares koos voor een zwemmende man met behaarde rug waaruit een palmboom geschoren is.

De muurschildering van 12 meter hoog en 20 meter breed roept allerlei vragen op. Wie is die man? Waar speelt dit zich af? De bedoeling is om de toeschouwers te prikkelen om zelf het verhaal te vormen, en om hun fantasie de vrije loop te laten gaan. 

Voor Elleke van Win, die in Diest woont, was dit haar allereerste graffitiwerk.

Mural by artist Elleke van Win on the wall of Freinet School De Pit.

The idea to paint the wall came from the pupils themselves. The artist chose a swimming man with hairy back from which a palm tree has been shaved.

The mural, 12 metres high and 20 metres wide, raises all sorts of questions. Who is this man? Where is this taking place? The aim is to stimulate viewers to shape the story themselves, and to let their imaginations run wild.

For Elleke van Win, who lives in Diest, this was her very first graffiti work.
