MAKING MURAL FANTASIES A REALITY
By artist /muralist Ray Gatica

There seems to be a growing trend towards people decorating large wall spaces converting what artist/muralist Ray Gatica calls, “nothing wall space” into something colorful, artistic and visually interesting. “The days of the vast blank walls are over,” says Gatica, “options include faux painting techniques; prefabricated murals installed or, having a custom mural hand-painted by a commissioned artist.

Gatica has over fifteen years experience creating murals and large architectural graphics for a number of commercial and residential clients. He’s experienced in working with Interior Designers, Architects, painting companies and project managers, etc.

Murals can be fun, exciting, larger‑than‑life fantasies that can be realized by the following options. Either way, having a mural in your home can be great fun! Options include Prefabricated Murals, Photomurals, and where to find them. We will also touch on the option of Faux and Decorative painting (even though not mural work, it’s a good option for converting empty wall space into something colorful and exciting). Along with outlining the above options, he will advise on things a potential client can do to keep the price of a mural down to a minimum along with tips on to how to communicate your ideas to the artist, for a fun, rewarding and mutually satisfying experience for both the client and artist..


Prefabricated Murals: First,
because prefabricated murals are mass-produced, and are easily found in wall covering stores, larger department and home stores they are lesser expensive option. These pre-printed murals come in assorted standard sizes and themes. The prices for these murals vary from around three - seven dollars per square-foot. Depending on the desired size, the client may have to paste a few sections together to complete a large mural. The client can then install the mural or have an installer do it for them same as with the prefabricated murals, above.

Faux and Decorative Painting: Even though not murals, this is another economical option. Custom Hand painted Murals: Last
but no least, these are a more, fun alternative of the options presented above and entails commissioning a professional artist/muralist to custom design and paint a mural based on your ideas, or fantasy. Oversize, Custom Canvas Mural: An oversize canvas mural option is especially good because if the client were to move in the future, they can always take it with them. There are two options for having a canvas mural. “Commercial Artist”, or “Murals”. If you have a budget communicate that to the artist. This will help in finding the right artist to work with you quicker. Says Gatica.

Do not be afraid to ask the artist for a definite price". You can keep the price of a mural down by doing some research to help the artist. In Conclusion: "Of course, I realize, I can’t paint a mural in everyone’s home, my intention is simply to make more people comfortable about working with professional artists/muralist.
