The fascination with city coats of arms; in the world of artists and creative minds, there are always those moments when an idea sparks and never lets go. For Dutch artist Hans Breuker, such a moment arrived when he decided to breathe new life into the old-fashioned coats of arms of Dutch cities. A journey that began with Hans' love for symbols and heraldry.
The Fascination for Symbols and Heraldry of City Coats of Arms
Hans Breuker has always had a deep fascination with symbols and heraldry. There is something enchanting about the way old coats of arms tell stories, reflect history, and capture the identity of a city. The idea that a single symbol can express so much has always inspired him and led to the creation of a collection of city coats of arms in a unique style.
The Love for Cities and City Life
As an artist, Breuker has often been inspired by 'the city' and city life. Its dynamism, bustle, and contrasts – it's an endless source of creativity. It was therefore a logical step for him to create a new collection centered around the coats of arms of Dutch cities.
The Birth of an Idea
The idea of placing city coats of arms in a contemporary context began to brew in Hans Breuker's mind. He wanted to give these classic symbols a fresh and modern look, without losing their original meaning. The desire to add a touch of 'gold look' to his artworks was the catalyst for this creative quest.

The result was stunning: a new series of artworks that cast the old symbols in a new light. The combination of classic and contemporary gave these city coats of arms a unique and intriguing appeal.
A New Meaning; a New Appreciation
With his contemporary makeover of city coats of arms, Hans Breuker has achieved not only a visual transformation but also an emotional one. These symbols have now gained a new meaning, a new appreciation. They speak not only to history but also to the future of the Dutch cities they represent.
