Visitors consistently praise the vibrant and diverse street art found throughout Tilburg's Spoorzone. The area is lauded for its dynamic, ever-changing artistic landscape and the impressive talent of artists like Paul Watty.

"Paul is a super cool guy, and he's very creative and versatile. For the Tilburg-Matagalpa partnership, he and Nicaraguan artist Manuel AlΓ‘niz painted the Pijnboomflat in Tilburg. A powerful mural about fair trade. Thanks, Paul!"
Miranda van der Klaauw
"Paul created a mural for us at AVIA Vollenhoven to celebrate the company's 130th anniversary. The mural shows the past and the transition to the future of the company.
It's amazing how he created a design based on our input where everything fell into place in one go and everything was just right! And impressive to see how this then appears on the wall down to the smallest detail. Paul is professional and flexible in the collaboration, all wishes are considered and an agreement is an agreement.
Paul you are great, keep it up!"
Anneke Schotman
