Uptown Waterloo Mural by Manuel Murillo in Kitchener
Uptown Waterloo Mural
I created this mural for Farah Market, in University and King, in Uptown Waterloo. I made the original draft, and use acrylic outdoor paint for it. It took me approximately 32 hours to complete. I was inspired by some of my personal food items. And tried to go for an artistic, unique and whimsical look. As I usually go for. A lot of students pedestrians passing by complement it, and took pictures of it. I love how it helps the store get that exposure of what they sell, and how it brings a bit more personality to the area.
I am a Mexican artist based on Kitchener-Waterloo, I have painted since childhood. And large scale walls is my passion!
But I do enjoy creating anything that is art, from little canvases as wedding favor's, to portraits or landscapes on canvas.
I studied in the Fine Arts Institute of Guadalajara. And I have been blessed in the last years to curate residential and commercial mural projects in the area. You can appreciate some of my work in Highland Retirement Place, Community Justice Initiatives, Farah Foods, the 6th vape Shop, Revel Realty in St Jacobs, etc.
My canvases have also been exposed in auctions and gallery's both nationally and internationally.
I have also done workshops for the YMCA, and the Aids committee of Cambridge, Kitchener Waterloo and Area, ACCKWA.
I hope you like my somewhat whimsical, dynamic, semi-realistic, semi-caricaturist style.
My color palettes selection, and I all that I do, and look forward to work together.
