The mural will be set up around a market that is set to open in October. The market will be host to bakers, butchers, markets, apartments and all other kinds of retailers, creating one of the biggest markets in the country. Since the main focus of the market will be its agriculture, the artist Arno Coenen has decided to focus on those images and more specifically those colors for the mural. It's no exaggeration to say that the mural is the biggest piece of art in the country as with an 11,000 square meter size, it's one of the biggest murals you'll see period.
