Information about the artist: Joost Leonard Minnigh (1942-2011), muralist, pen painter, graphic designer, printmaker, etcher, painter and draftsman.
-Education: Academy of Visual Arts Rotterdam (1963-1967).
His inspiration initially came primarily from nature. As an ornithologist, he saved thousands of bird nests. Later, his interest in architecture was sparked by a stay in Rome. Themes such as skyscrapers, metro stations, and the steel structures of bridges and viaducts found a place in his artworks. Nature and technology proved to go well together, and this is reflected in his works.
His works have become known not only nationally but also internationally. For example, he exhibited at the Kunsthal in Rotterdam, but also in Germany, Finland, Spain, Italy, South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, and New Zealand.
