For Vitalis Peppelrode in Eindhoven (NL) I’ve painted this new mural. This is an elderly care and nursing home.

Titled: “TIME & TOON”

Inspired by the poem De Tuin (The Garden) by Dutch comedian, poet and cabaret artist Toon Hermans, this mural reflects on the cyclical nature of life — how everything that fades returns in new form. Falling leaves, a young poplar sprouting from a wooden clog, and an elderly woman gazing peacefully at the sky come together in a quiet meditation on time, change, and renewal.

The central figure, touched by a warm glow, embodies serenity and vitality. Her presence evokes both personal memory and universal rhythm — she is a symbol of Mother Nature, gracefully inhabiting the final season of life.

Two robins, one resting and one in flight, accompany her gaze. As lifelong partners, they represent hope, love, transformation, and the magic of connection. The wooden clog has been gently reimagined as a birdhouse — a humble object of human heritage transformed into a symbol of shelter, care, and new beginnings.

Warm earth tones and soft circular shapes echo the sun and moon, anchoring the work in both architectural harmony and symbolic depth. Created in dialogue with residents and staff of Peppelrode, this mural offers more than a view: it is a window into the cycles that shape us all — a moment of reflection, quiet joy, and natural grace.
