MURALS
3328 Pico Blvd
I am a color field artist. I try to evoke emotion with color. Painting in Santa Monica is always the best because the energy seems to translate at the highest level. #goodtimes – Risk Rock

This mural is a celebratory image of our spiritual journey, and each color column represents different phases in our lives. The elephants migrating throughout the mural represent us on our journeys. The mural wraps around the corner of the wall and ends with a symbol of beauty, my rose mandala. This Mural was born out of a body of work which is concerned with overcoming fear and becoming the best versions of ourselves. I was born and raised in Santa Monica, so for me it was an honor to paint a large mural facing east that is the first thing you see as you cross into Santa Monica on Pico Boulevard. – Gus Harper

Unurban Coffee House has one of the chillest vibes in Santa Monica. The owner, staff and regulars are filled with positive energy. They do open mic nights, it’s cozy and funky. This place’s atmosphere rejuvenates my hope in good people. The mission was to have the exterior match the spirit of the inside. So, I used their existing logo as a focal point and rays of energy radiating from it. With organic ribbons and leaves in visually-pleasing colors, the wall was filled with expanding love. It was an unforgettable experience. – Uriel Bautista

The Pico mural by Luca Zamoc was the first mural to go up during the “Pico Rennaisance” – as I like to call it. It’s special as it’s done by an Italian artist who worked with the community to represent the concept of “stronger together” – hence the horses pulling the rope together. – Evan Meyer

All of my work is inspired by beauty that occurs between people, and sharing the experience of love is one of the most important parts of being human. The hands that spell out the word “love” are intended to draw a direct reference to the fact that love is something that is built (as if by hand) intentionally and carefully. – Allison Kunath
2602 Pico Blvd
It is a work that symbolizes a lot, at first glance it can be just another mural, but here is reflected all the work for which I have gone through these last months, a work of finding myself, a work to find something that identifies what I live in my present, the way I have lived these last couple of months, a work that I feel happy to put out there, an evolution that maybe some like it and others hate, but all is part of this hard and pleasant life experience. – @roytherat Instagram

This mural is about being surrounded by love but not being about to be in love. It’s about a moment we all face in life at the end of a relationship. Why do we become so dim is such a vibrant world. – Ugo Nonis

This was a collaboration between Ruben Rojas and me that was commissioned by Zappos.com to display one of their core values “Create”. We wanted to exhibit the endless possibilities of creativity. The mind is a vast galaxy, but can be playful and childlike with no limits. – SEL

I love owls. I’m inspired by them. I wanted to keep the Grey Block Pizza building grey but bring color to it. An owl is a source of love and wisdom and naturally has a heart-shaped head, so I wanted to accentuate that. If you look deep in eyes, there are hearts in there too. The rest of the shapes are my style and pattern but focused on the owl. There’s a dark center that leads to bright borders. There’s contrast between intense and very colorful – dark greys and blacks with hot pinks for example. This represents the importance of balance in our lives. – Evan Meyer

This poem I wrote summarizes [this mural] perfectly: To evolve as the \ Human Species \ Forgive and heal \ Through empathy… \ And then compassion \ Because there is no truth except in action. – Davia King
1002 Pico Blvd
Both murals were organized by Beautify Earth and commissioned by the Clare Foundation, a facility that helps people with drug addiction to get back on their feet. I wanted to create something that would stimulate positive thought for both the people visiting the center and the surrounding community. Each piece presents a person in thought. What are they thinking? What have they been through? The birds are flying free to represent the possibility of where their future is headed. Like a bird, they, too, are free to head in any direction – the choice is theirs. – SEL

This mural is a tribute to Tyler Skaggs, Los Angeles Angels pitcher, who passed away in July 2019. Skaggs had attended and played baseball at nearby Santa Monica High School.
