The Flamingo Mural

March 21, 2024

Commissioned By The Surf Boutique Hotel

This flamingo mural was a very excited project, I fell in love with the idea of painting, a flamingo since it match perfectly my art style, the hibiscus and other elements I incorporate as the moon and the abstract sun were added to complement the theme of fauna and flora I wanted to create, the flamingo is looking at the east to enjoy the sunrise every morning in our beautiful Hollywood beach.

The flamingo and his bold and vivid colors on high-quality waterproof and weatherproof acrylic painting are made to long lasting fresh and beautiful, the surface was cleaned, and prepared with a primer to ensure adherence of the acrylics and the acrylic paint itself were enhanced with a un protection additive due to the fact that the mural is facing our pretty beach sun every day. 

For this composition, I mixed abstract elements designing the flamingo feathers upon shapes and colorful lines, and realistic techniques for the hibiscus flowers on the bottom, ending with some geometric elements such as the sun and the moon on the sides. 

I draw by hand all the elements on the spot without using any kind of stencil or projector for support. 

My name is Nathaly Diaz and I hope you’re enjoyed my creation. Thanks so much.
