Muro Verde: Apapacho Hostel Mural Paintings by Oliver Gadoury, Illustrator & Designer in Montreal

The second wall between the first and second floors at Apapacho Hostel in Mexico City. During a month-long residency at Apapacho Hostel in Mexico City, I had the opportunity to create a trio of murals, extending up each landing of the building’s main staircase. For this project, I aimed to capture the essence of the cityscape by blending elements encountered during my stay into reimagined compositions. From architectural details and vehicles to street scenes and bustling crowds. Departing from my usual black-and-white style, I opted for a more colourful approach to bring more vibrancy and vitality into the surrounding spaces. Each piece stands distinct yet harmonious, offering a glimpse into the often-overlooked beauty found within the lively streets of Mexico City.
