Pompeblêd

Bold blue stripes and red water-lily leaves turn a familiar Frisian symbol into a playful piece of contemporary graphic art. Pompeblêd borrows the visual language of the regional flag while changing its scale, rhythm and arrangement.

The strong colours make the painting easy to notice from across a shopping passage. Up close, the repeated shapes encourage a slower look: each mark is familiar, but together they form something different.

The work asks how a regional identity can feel both traditional and new. In the context of the art competition, it is an invitation to recognise Friesland in an unexpected setting.
