For the Love of God
Rondeklip, Curaçao, 2024 – 2026
For the Love of God is the largest work Francis Sling has made so far: a mural around a sports court at Rondeklip, now completed, about the moment love created everything. It follows on from Djosa, his mural in Otrobanda that asks the question of what God is.
Strange Bird: the book launch at the mural
Francis Sling has never been one for the ordinary. His spectacular murals have become landmarks across Curaçao, and now his imagination comes to life on the pages of For Example, an unconventional new book filled with art, sketches, words and ideas. To celebrate its launch, Strange Bird invites you into Francis’s world: three evenings of art, music, theatre and dining at Landhuis Rondeklip, with a little of his famous popcorn philosophy along the way, and the For the Love of God mural as the setting.
Thursday, November 26, 2026: Dinner Show & Book Launch (a private, invitation-only evening) An intimate evening of art, music, performance and fine dining. A champagne welcome, a theatrical journey through the grounds with drinks and small bites along the way, and a three-course dinner and live show beside the mural. The evening celebrates the official launch of For Example.
Friday, November 27, 2026: Dress-up Evening A theatrical journey across the estate, followed by a five-course dinner and live show beside the mural. Come as your most expressive self: elegant, eccentric, bold or entirely your own creation. The book is on sale during the evening.

In Francis’s own words
While he was working on the mural, Francis wrote:
This is one of the most meaningful works I’ve ever created. It’s still in progress, but already breathing. It chose me, honestly. And I know it’s not something I want to do alone.
From now on, I’ll be sharing more here: videos, audio, poetry, thoughts, little windows into the journey. It’s me, trying to understand something bigger than me.
And if it touches you… stay close. Your presence, your support, even your return: it means more than you know. Until the day we meet at the event.
The new book
For the Love of God comes from the same studio as Francis’s new book, For Example. In it he opens the door of his studio; this website is that studio. Read more about the book.

The About Francis wall in the Bubble tells the whole story, from the empty wall to the finished mural: photos and videos from his own website. The description, sketches and details are in the envelope For the Love of God next to them.
