Drie vlinders (Three butterflies)

Carin Sleurink lives in Nieuwegein and has created several beautiful and cheerful murals there.
She always paints her murals together with local residents, and this mural of three butterflies was created in the same way.

The neighborhood where this mural is located is called the Rijtuigenbuurt (Carriages District). The painting shows three butterflies among blossoming branches. In the butterflies’ wings, references to carriages—such as wheels and reins—have been incorporated, reflecting the street names in the Rijtuigenbuurt (see detail).
