Commercial Mural – a real Trompe L’Oeil

See detailed pictures here: http://www.artcomm.us/murals/courtreporters.htm

Courtroom Mural

This is the lobby of the company Personal Court Reporters in Van Nuys, greater Los Angeles.
Do you ask yourself if the connecting door to the old court room is real or not?
The old court room is after the court room of the “Whaley House”  in San Diego - the authentic haunted house of the USA.

How to create beautiful Fire Doors

Iron wrought firedoor

Fire doors are usually ugly but are a must in commercially used buildings, right? I got hired by the company Personal Court Reporters in Van Nuys, near Los Angeles to create a Trompe L’Oeil for the fire doors and the entry. The wine cellar door I did some time ago was the actual reason why my client contacted me. He really liked this style of  the wrought iron door  in front of a wine cellar.

I found and adjusted a design for  thre fire doors, one in front of the elevator and the office entry door.

The background is a transparent greyish white, and creates the illusion of matte glass behind the iron doors.

One good thing is that the firedoors are made out of metal, so I just had to imitate the color of the handles.

 These wrought iron doors bring life into the hallway and add some elegant touch to the whole floor.
Interested in making the best out of the fire doors or any door?

Send an email and I will give you a 1 hour free design consultation

Italy Tuscany Mural

Tuscany Mural

This beautiful mural was done for a showroom in a furniture store in the basement . There were no windows and the Tuscan Mural brought some light and life to the space.

Basically every room which is dark, has only small windows or is too small can be lightened up with a mural.

The faux finished arch and the balcony create an extra space which is creating the illusion of being able to walk outside.

You don’t need to be an Italy fan for such a mural.  It can be done in less than 2 weeks.

Playing Children Out-door Mural

Playing Kids is a mural we did out-doors. The kids are in life-size as well as the dog and the cat.

Our client wanted his own kids painted on the walls as an everlasting memory.

This mural is in Switzerland and I remember very well when we did it: It was in April and it was still very cold.

How to make a room look bigger – Restaurant Mural

Commercial Mural

Mural for a restaurant featuring a Swiss city at the beautiful Zurich Lake

The restaurant had a small and long room which they used for private parties but it was not booked as it should.

The wall where you see the mural is a fold-able door which is connected to the main room of the restaurant.

We faux finished this wall first, then added a window mural to open up the small space. The intention was to make the room look bigger with an additional window. The result was fabulous! The restaurant owner told us later that it was much easier for him to rent out the room for private parties and events.

We do all kinds of commercial mural and wall finishes.

Greek Wall Mural for the Backyard

Greek Mural

This is a wall of  a garage which was white. My clients did some very nice landscaping and added a pavilion tent which looked very good with the typical Greek colors blue and white.

It is a typical Greek setting that you will find on very many Greek islands. If you are a fan of Greece and have a backyard wall you will like this wall mural.

This breath taking mural is in the basement of a private resicende in Granada Hills and is on the opposite side of the wine cellar.  The walls are faux finished and add a nice rustique look to the staircase which is leading down to the wine cellar.

Yes, it is painted!

Charlie Chaplin Mural – A Hollywood Legend

Charlie Chaplin
Charlie Chaplin

Charlie Chaplin was one of the greatest Hollywood Stars.  At a time when sound was not an option in the movies, and where black and white were the only colors, his artistic abilities were indeed outstanding.

It was an honor and a pleasure to paint him in life size as a mural amongst other Hollywood stars like Marilyn Monroe and James Dean.

The mural is from a scene of the movie “Goldrush”. I am not sure if this is the movie where he ate a sole of a shoe instead of a steak…?

If you like some of your Hollywood stars painted on the walls, send me an email
or go to www.artcomm.us

It is a great addition for a game room or office spaces.
