The Amalfi Coastline Mural

Vine Colonnade
Showing painted trompe l?oeil floor tiles to match real existing floor tiles.

This mural decorates 3 sides of a swimming pool. The design concept is of the pool being within ruins of a grand villa, situated high up the rock face of the Amalfi coast, Italy. The illusion is created of looking down and across the sea. The original walls had been painted terracotta, to match the floor tiles so it was decided to keep this background colour and paint some blue sea only partially to create the illusion. The illustrations of yachts sailng across, augment the ?sea? illusion on the warm terracotta.
