Victoria Regiapark — Ciclope Art
In the heart of Gentbrugge, street art now takes center stage. The imposing warehouse wall overlooking the Victoria Regiapark has been transformed into a vibrant mural, thanks to internationally acclaimed Argentine painting duo Ciclope (Juli & Pili). This mural is not only a visual highlight but also a tribute to the neighborhood’s rich botanical heritage.
Inspired by the historic greenhouses of botanist Louis Van Houtte, the artwork tells the story of the Victoria Regia – a giant water lily that Van Houtte personally brought back from the Amazon to Gentbrugge. The mural also features subtle references to the azalea, a plant that gained international fame through cultivation in the greenhouses of Ghent.
This unique street art mural connects past and present, while enhancing the park’s green character and strengthening the bond within the community. The artwork was made possible with support from Wijkbudget Gent, in close collaboration with engaged local residents.

Abstract Sessions originated from a simple but bold question: what happens when you dedicate an entire wall to abstract art? Together with a diverse group of artists from across Europe, we brought colour, energy and experimentation together in a unique creative process.
Waarom kunst in de publieke ruimte?
Kunst in de publieke ruimte is een must. Het toont wie we zijn of willen zijn als stad, gemeente of dorp. Kunst kan verbinden, verbazen, maar ook tot discussie leiden. Het stemt tot nadenken en gesprek. En is dat niet het doel?
Street art: the street belongs to everyone
Street art has long ceased to be merely "anti" or a paragon of anarchy. Today, thanks in part to this art form, the idea that public space belongs to everyone is alive.
