This project presented a unique challenge: while much of contemporary art strives to stand out as the focal point, this mural was conceived to do the opposite — to blend seamlessly with the surrounding landscape. Covering a 610 sq. ft. flat surface, the work had to respond to its shifting environment: the greens of grass and trees deepening in sunlight, softening under cloud cover, and transforming again as shadows stretched across the padel court from different directions.
The question guiding the work was: how can a painted surface appear alive, yet remain in harmony with nature? The solution emerged through careful study of movement and perception. As the mural directly faces the court, its design also needed to avoid distracting players. Brushstrokes were tested in motion — stepping into player stances, shifting side to side — to ensure they were long enough to hold visual coherence against the speed of a ball in play, yet short enough to evoke the textures of bushes and foliage in the surrounding landscape.
The result is a surface that is simultaneously still and dynamic: a mural that adapts with light, shadow, and movement, blending into its environment while offering a quiet reminder of the living rhythms around it.
The Flow of Water

The water depot mural was designed with both function and atmosphere in mind. The challenge was to guide the flow of traffic while creating an image that remained visually focused on water without fading into its surroundings. To achieve this balance, I drew on color theory to select a palette that would capture attention without evoking agitation — an important consideration given that customers often wait in a bottleneck as only one vehicle can be served at a time.
The composition features an oriental-inspired line work design, symbolizing the flowing movement of water and the lightness of clouds. Rendered in continuous, unbroken strokes, the pattern embodies both freshness and efficiency — qualities that reflect the company’s production of clean water. The choice of peach-coral as the background creates warmth and approachability, while the crisp white line work ensures clarity and direction, subtly guiding drivers through the space.
The result is a mural that is not only decorative but purposeful: a visual system that eases movement, evokes the essence of water, and harmonizes functionality with design.
