Alexis Diaz’s work is iconic; his big imaginative drawings are full of details. Before working on his mural in Ostend, Alexis Diaz went to the Ostend City Museum to look for inspiration. In one of the books in the museum, he found a picture of Ostend’s old coat of arms and the story of the three keys. Keeping this myth in mind, Diaz made a new coat of arms for the city and drew mermaids, seagulls and whales on it.
This work of art was originally displayed in the Kapellestraat and later on Oosteroever, but can now no longer be viewed in Ostend.
