It is a universal fact that in spite of so many technological advancements, people cherish old values and art-forms that existed centuries back. Mural paintings are shining examples. For those who do not have come across the meaning of Mural paintings, here is the description.

You might have seen artistic paintings by hand, drawn in framed canvas sheets. Sky is the limit for the creativity of the artist in bringing to life in that canvas, anything beautiful and pleasing to the eyes - an image, a picture, a scenery or a portrait of living person etc. In contrast to these paintings confined to a limited space within four frames, Mural Paintings differ in the format and techniques.

Instead of a fixed canvas frame, Mural artists select architectural avenues for painting their hearts out. Flat and curved surfaces of buildings, palaces, churches and public buildings in the earlier centuries and offices, public halls and homes in today's atmosphere are converted into art-galleries, by the beautiful Mural paintings.

The basic difference of Murals from ordinary canvas paintings is Murals give a three-dimensional effect, to show up the surfaces on which they are painted, to become part and parcel of the paintings themselves. Walls, ceilings, hallways, doors, windows or for that matter any surface inside the building can be decorated with fantastic Murals, to show eye-pleasing interior decoration concepts.

Way back in this Mural art-form, a specialized technique namely €Trompe L'oeil€ emerged in the 14th and 15th centuries in Italy. The meaning of this term in French is €deceiving the eye€. Your eyes will create an illusion while viewing these exquisite Trompe L'eoil Mural paintings, as if there is further space inside these painted surfaces.

For example, if a Trompe L'oeil artist paints a Mural of a picture partly concealed by a curtain, you will be deceived that the curtain is real and should be opened to see the picture. In reality, this curtain itself is drawn by the artist on a flat surface, to create an illusion that there is more space between the image and the reality. Like this, several examples of enchanting Trompe L'oeil painting techniques can be quoted.

Now even in this Computer Age, we still have artists and painters following all those age-old techniques and art-forms of Murals and Trompe L'oeil painting techniques. Their talent can be very well used in interior decoration for bringing back the old glory of conventional paintings, inside buildings and walls.

Instead of painting just colours to the walls as interior decoration, you can think more ideas imaginatively, by using the cherished talents of Mural artists. For instance, there are well-experienced Mural artists like Richard Baggulay in London. These people work as a team and undertake contracts of interior and exterior decoration, by hand-painting artistic Murals and Trompe L'oeil technical paintings in your home, office and other buildings.
