Murals are simply a skillful attempt at creating illusion. They can totally expand our horizons and often times they transport us to another time or place through images. In their simplest form, murals are simply decorative artistic rendering on a common wall or living space that is generally grand in scale. Certain material are needed to complete a mural but painting easel is not one of them. Typically, murals are largely inspired by six main topics: religion, the four seasons (fall, winter, spring, and summer), historical events, ages of man, politics, and social issues. Trompe L'Oeil is a style of painting a 3-dimensional image on a 2-dimensional surface. Trompe L'Oeil means Fool the Eye, which is exactly what it's meant to do.
