The mural “Huygenika” can be found on a blind wall of the former “Wilhelmina Hospital”, located on Tweede Constantijn Huygensstraat. It was created by artists Uri Martinez (also known as Uriginal) and Irene Lopez Leon. 👩‍🎨 👨🏽‍🎨

Uri Martinez, a painter from Barcelona, is known for blending details from historical artworks with modern elements. The mural’s name, “Huygenika”, refers to Picasso’s famous painting “Guernica”—both in style and in the central image of a horse. 🎨 🐴

Dionysus, in this case portrayed in sprayaint under the Metroline, once found the drunken Silenos and kindly returned him to King Midas. As thanks, Midas was granted a wish—but foolishly chose for everything he touched to turn to gold. 🚇🍇

Another time, pirates kidnapped Dionysus, thinking he was just a rich traveler. He turned their ship into a jungle of vines, became a lion, and scared them overboard—where they turned into dolphins. 🦁 🐬🐬

The artwork is part of the collab that’s organized by Infaam 🎨

A docked vessel at “Weespertrekvaart”. A waterway that was dug in 1️⃣6️⃣3️⃣9️⃣ as a fast (water)way between Amsterdam and Weesp, which was then known for its gin. 🍸

Horse-drawn tow barges used the canal, pulled along a towpath that still partly exists today. 🐴 🐴

Now it’s a peaceful, green stretch of water between city and nature. Cyclists, rowers, and walkers enjoy the route. 🏙️ 🏃‍♀️ 🍃 🌱
