A muralist is an artist who specializes in creating large-scale paintings or artworks directly on walls or ceilings. These artworks can be found in public spaces, buildings, and homes, often reflecting the culture, history, or themes relevant to the location. Muralists use various techniques and materials, including spray paint, acrylics, and traditional brushes, to bring their visions to life. Muralism has roots in movements like the Mexican Muralism of the early 20th century, which aimed to convey social and political messages. Today, muralists often collaborate with communities and organizations to create pieces that inspire, educate, or beautify urban environments.
