MURAL PAINTINGS
Mural Paintings: A Long Tradition in Art
The history of mural paintings dates to ancient times with paintings in southern France and the work of the American Indians. But the term became famous with the Mexican muralista art movement (Diego Rivera, David Siqueiros or José Orozco). Here in Southern California you are probably most familiar with our many outdoor murals and you might associate an indoor mural with works like Michelangelo's famous Creation or Last Judgment, both adorning the inside of the Sistine Chapel.
Today, the indoor mural painting is most often used to open up a wall by extending an outdoor landscape or by transforming a space into an exotic jungle, an ancient place or a scenic mountaintop.
Your Style Captured in a Mural Painting
The style of Mural paintings can vary from abstract to fantasy to Trompe l'oeil (a French term for 'fool or trick the eye' ). More than one style might work for a project – Gabriele can recommend several.
But you may well have a very good idea of the style that will be best, and it is up to the Gabriele to interpret your dream and produce an end result that fits the style. Mural paintings are often based on traditional themes, but get creative with the style and themes.

Your Mural Paintings Makes the Best of Unusual Spaces
Use a mural painting to make the best of an odd space. Perhaps your home has an interesting alcove, a bedroom the size of a closet – or the opposite. Do you have a garden space that is framed by stucco walls? Perhaps a pool area that has just got too much cement and not enough life. Or a garage that is, like it or not, the centerpiece of your yard! Turn that oddity into an enlightened highlight with a mural painting.
