The Secret History of Mural Art

What is mural art?

A mural is essentially a large realistic painting which is painted on a solid surface such as a wall, a ceiling or a permanent fixture. Murals are not ordinary paintings; these paintings have a purpose which is deeper than what we can perceive through our eyes. Mural art can be easily identified as they are painted according to the interiors of a place or room with a slightly different artistry than the normal art forms.

Muralists pay great attention to the details in order to assure that the space is accurately interpreted in terms of the dimensions and lighting. Outdoor murals are quite common; you have most likely seen one on the side of a wall on your travels. Muralists are mostly commissioned by owners to create exterior murals. The time spent on a mural depends on the price paid by the hirers. Street murals are usually sponsored by the government or a business to attract passersby.

Where does mural art originate from?

Mural art originated 30,000 years ago when murals were engraved into exteriors. The first mural paintings were allegedly carved into caves; historians have discovered the paintings dating back to the upper Palaeolithic times. Many ancient murals have been preserved by the caves in which they were carved in. The carvings in fact capture the lifestyle and inhabitant of the people during this period of time. We are able to piece together our own anecdotes and understand the people culturally with these historical paintings.

Modern murals

Modern murals are typically painted using oil paints or water-based paints. Contemporary art is very different to traditional murals and it has now been adapted to be painted on canvases and then transferred onto walls, ceilings or permanent fixtures.

The style in which murals are painted varies from painting to painting. Richard Bagguely’s art includes faux finishes, Trompe l’oeil and Mural pieces.

How I turned my dull room into a visually appealing space, Read Here!

Everyone admires an environment where all the things are visually appealing. It’s like a new story is hidden behind every object or even better a new world is evolving out from the old spaces. When we, me and Ally, first moved to our new home I was shocked after noticing that the old homeowners haven’t done anything great to make the dull walls look eye-catching. Although the rooms were big but the environment was quite dull, therefore we eventually decided to go for a make-over of the complete interiors of home and from that day our mural story begins.

Interiors of your home are quite important when you want your home to look and feel the way you want. Mural art is among that traditional art which can totally change the feel of your home. Home owners often look for inspiring ideas to make their spaces look more attractive. Being an art lover I would definitely add here that mural paintings have an ability to make a room look and feel bigger. They add a touch of beauty, mystery and illusion.

Mural art can define almost everything from comic characters and real life events to huge landscapes and historical events. An amazing artwork requires a perfect subject and an experienced hand of mural artist. People say that sky is the limit of imagination; I would rather say you can depict all your imagination with this traditional art-work. Another great thing about murals is that you feel involved throughout the whole process; you are free to add anything new with the help of mural artist and with little bit of your creativity.

There are a number of benefits you get with wall murals. Like we discussed in our last post mural paintings can completely change the inside environment of your home. It can improve the value of your property as well. At the end it totally depends on you my dear readers, what you want- the same old and dull décor or something lively and full of illusions?
