Why did you make this work:
A mural for the underground parking lot of the Israeli Opera and Tel Aviv Museum of Art. The mural depicts a theatrical scene with four characters that resemble iconic figures such as Pierrot and the Phantom of the Opera, walking towards the stairs as if coming off the stage, while flowers are thrown at them at the show's end.

What materials and techniques did you use?:
Hand-painted with acrylic wall paint.
Inspired by Cubism and Italian Futurism, the stage lights create a geometric division into the shapes and the color surfaces.

How were your illustrations used:
Mural.
