Uppspretta

The circular mural extends across a water tower measuring nine meters in height and thirty-six meters in circumference, depicting a colorful puffin story.

Eleven artists from five different nations transformed an abandoned water tower into this mural during a seven-week period in summer 2013.

The mural tells the tale of a puffin named Uppspretta who travels from Iceland to the Netherlands in search of adventure and love.
