Beauty is Everywhere
The mural uses curvy lines to form organic shapes like the petals, leaves, and butterfly wings. The outlines are bold and clean. The curved lines and rounded forms give the mural movement and liveliness. The colors used in this mural are saturated and high contrast. It uses intense reds, yellows, purples, oranges, greens, and blues. The bright blue background makes these colors stand out even more. There are complementary color pairings that create energy and depth in the mural. Although the surface of this mural is flat, there is texture through the layered colors and shaded tones when looking at the flower petals and butterfly wings. The overlapping creates visual texture on the mural, making it look full. The texture of the building’s surface adds a specific look to the paint on the wall, making it look a bit rough, which intensifies the organic feel of the mural. The mural has a sense of brightness across all elements because there is not one single light source used. This makes the mural feel more festive. This mural was painted on an exterior wall and is surrounded by a wooden pergola and hanging plants. The design has an arrangement of flowers, butterflies, and other foliage. This mural does not have a single focal point; instead, the viewer looks across the wall from one flower or butterfly to the next one. -
Future in Their Hands
The mural occupies the full height of a brick wall and features two young girls as its central figures. One girl stands slightly in front, hands extended forward holding a glowing globe. The other stands close behind, arm around the first, and both are set against a backdrop of a deep blue sky with stars and orbit-like rings circling the globe. Behind each girl is a halo one white, one gold which raises their presence and gives a sense of importance or reverence. The color palette mixes warm tones (skin tones, pink shirt, gold halo) with cooler tones (blue background, teal rings), creating a balance between grounded realism and cosmic abstraction. The texture of the brick remains visible, reminding viewers that this mural lives in an urban environment. The composition leads the eye from the outstretched hands to the globe and then upward through the rings and halos, emphasizing connection and motion. Overall, the scale, color, and subject create a sense of empowerment and possibility.
