Tango Mural

Big mural painting for a dance studio.

I’ve painted four walls in a dance studio Plac 172 in my hometown Ljubljana. We agreed with the owner of the studio to paint human bodies that are dancing, moving, singing, playing and celebrating the life. The mural had to be simple in shape and color but also good looking. I’ve made the bodies and the leaves big, keeping the character of the shapes consistent and carefully selecting the color palette. The style and composition of the mural fits really nicely with in the studio and it adds the place uniqueness. It is so unique, that it’s easy to remember. The murals became the branding for Plac 172. For example, all the pictures taken in this studio have this mural in the background.

The process was very straight forward: first I drew the sketches on my iPad, than I used the projector to draw the outlines on the walls. I mixed the 4 basic colours which were used for bodies and leaves and finally painted the shapes.
