The freedom we dream of and the reality we neglect are intertwined in the paintings of Belgian-born muralist Gijs Vanhee. The artist is coming to Sofia to create a mural in the city center at the invitation of the Visionary Foundation and as part of Belgian Days 2022. Gijs Vanhee is an illustrator who became passionate about street art in his teens.
