Home Cinema Mural





Mural based on the movie "Cinema Paradiso"

My client built a house with a home cinema and built the cinema screen permanently into the wall. But they built it the wrong size and then had to install a new screen that rolls up and down over the top of the original one. This serendipitously left the original screen as a blank-white-canvas-like space set into the wall and I was given the task of painting a mural on it.

The mural is based on the movie, "Cinema Paradiso" and my client's parents come from the Italian town of Oppido, so we changed the name of the cinema depicted in the mural from Cinema Paridiso to Cinema Oppidiso.

2.5m square - oils
