Belgian artist DZIA has completed latest mural BOT (Platichthys Flesus) Nr 36 for the Animalinas series at Rivierenland
Belgian street artist DZIA has unveiled his latest mural, BOT (Platichthys Flesus) Nr 36, at Natuurpark Rivierenland as part of his Animalinas series. This vibrant piece features a whimsical depiction of a flatfish, blending art and nature to reflect the delicate ecosystem of the park. Sponsored by organizations like Aquafin NV and Natuurpunt, the mural serves as a visual reminder of the importance of protecting local wildlife.
Painted in DZIA’s signature style, the flatfish appears to glide across the wall, exuding both fluidity and stillness. The artwork is characterized by swirling lines, intricate patterns, and dynamic circular designs that bring the flatfish to life. With bold lines and radiant colors, DZIA injects energy into the mural, complementing the aquatic life the park celebrates.
This mural is part of DZIA’s broader Animalinas project, an initiative that seeks to reconnect urban spaces with the natural world through public art. His mission involves infusing decaying or neglected urban areas with depictions of animals, offering a playful yet thought-provoking commentary on the relationship between cities and wildlife. The fish mural at Rivierenland exemplifies DZIA’s unique ability to balance tenderness with adventure, transforming walls into portals to the wild.
DZIA’s art journey extends across continents, with murals spread throughout Europe, the U.S., and beyond. Whether in dense urban centers or scenic nature parks, his work invites viewers to reconsider the harmony between modern environments and the animal kingdom. Keep an eye out for upcoming projects from DZIA & Sons, as they continue to blend humor, nature, and art across a variety of landscapes.
