This is a unique work featuring the tram and tulip-sprinkling tough woman on Leidseplein Amsterdam.
Leidseplein was the birthplace of the Graffiti scene in the 1980s. This is where all the graffiti fanatics gathered to bombard whatever passed by with 'tags'. Artists and pure daredevils.
You cannot imagine how crazy and fascinating was the sight of 10 young figures who had underdrawn a tram inside and out in 5 minutes in broad daylight.
Everything in this artwork is self-conceived and created by Paddy, the photograph, the custom décor with digital brushes and the tram that comes rushing in from Korte Leidsedwarsstraat. No tram comes from that street at all, but the speed effect is grandiose.
The lady was generated with a prompt to create the strong image between city toughness and the golden heart of the Amsterdammers, 020'ers, with the tulips.
The black rose represents well-known and lesser-known Amsterdam heroes (at least lesser-known to those not conscripted). Heroes who lost their lives but also left their mark, such as Rob Kaman, Gino Lightner, André Brilleman, High, Manfred Langer, Herman Brood, Johan Cruijff and, last but not least, Amsterdam's first mayor from the year 1343: Godevaert Wormbouts.
