THE BRIGHT SHIRE by Bruno Mota in Sydney

The Bright Shire was created by local artist, Bruno Mota, to represent the Sutherland Shire’s culture and lifestyle, illustrating the region’s abundance of beautiful landscapes, nature, beaches and friendly community. My aim was to represent some iconic places such as Wedding Cake Rock, Waterfalls and Cronulla with the regional architecture, surf culture and happy atmosphere. This artwork shows an intersection of lines, shapes and exploding colours connecting all these icons in one piece, bringing together the spirit of community. I wanted to bring happiness and all the beautiful outdoor landscapes from The Shire inside the office, to make a positive impact on your mood and energy whilst inside. This mural was painted during the challenging time of the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020. The role art plays in people's lives has never been more important, how it can bring?joy and comfort during difficult times.
