7,000 square foot restaurant. 3 ceiling murals, 1 custom tequila locker, and 5 individual murals, 2 months of painting as construction was taking place. I worked closely with owner David Curiel to make his visions come to life; we pulled off quite a feat in this massive downtown restaurant space.
Bold foliage painted in muted pinks and greens, bordered by a massive frame covers on the main wall of the dining room. These same verdant leaves carry over onto an elaborate mural integrated with a massive tequila locker, with foliage painted inside individual lockers to create a cohesive 3-dimensional effect.
Vibrant greenery also covers two stories of ceiling to create a canopy effect over the diners in the northeast corner of the space. All the colors and lush foliage truly reflects the energy of this bustling and lively restaurant.
