Crevaels, also known by his pseudonym Novadead, shared with POLITICO that the mural he was hired to create in 2017 by the Belgian property company, Atenor, was always destined to be temporary.
He revealed that the plan had always been to take down the mural, even though it was supposed to have happened sooner. He expressed his sadness over its removal, acknowledging the emotional attachment many people had formed with the artwork.
Crevaels also mentioned that he is currently in discussions with the Commission about the possibility of reproducing the mural at a different site. Although he hopes to recreate it in some form, no firm decisions have been made yet.
Representatives for both the Commission and Atenor were contacted for comments, but as of now, there has been no immediate response.
The article is written in a manner that is easily comprehensible to those interested in investing or simply curious about the subject, although the main focus remains on the artist and his mural.
