Murals, a precious heritage from the Renaissance, have proven the everlasting power of art. The technique of applying color to wet plaster not only creates works of high durability but also brings a unique beauty, a harmonious combination of color, light and space. From the walls of churches, palaces to ordinary houses, murals have always been an endless source of inspiration for people.
Murals, an art form that has accompanied mankind since ancient times, are experiencing a strong revival.
Murals have a long and rich history, dating back thousands of years. Their meaning and purpose have evolved over time, reflecting the cultural, religious, and political values of different societies. Cave paintings were originally a form of storytelling and expression of spiritual beliefs. In ancient Egypt, murals decorated the tombs of pharaohs to ensure safe passage to the afterlife.

During the Renaissance in Europe, murals became an integral part of church decoration. Religious stories were depicted on large-scale frescoes that covered entire walls or ceilings. These murals served not only as representational images but also as educational tools for illiterate congregations.

In modern times, murals have become powerful tools for social and political activism. Murals depicting civil rights leaders or raising awareness about environmental issues serve as reminders of our shared history and inspire change.
Preserving traditional mural techniques allows us to connect with the past while capturing contemporary concerns. By reviving these age-old methods, we can celebrate the artistic heritage of different cultures while signaling a commitment to diversity and artistic preservation.

In Vietnamese, this type of painting is called fresco or mural for simplicity. They are large-scale wall paintings, created by applying pigments to wet plaster. This technique ensures that the artwork will blend and become an integral part of the wall surface when it dries, keeping its vibrant colors for a long time. In the history of architectural development, frescoes were often used to decorate public buildings, religious sites and private homes, sometimes serving the purpose of narrating the events of the times.
Murals can be classified based on many criteria, but the most common is the painting technique. Buon Fresco, or wet-on-wet fresco, is the most classic and sophisticated technique. Pigments are mixed directly with water and applied to the wet plaster, creating a durable film of color that adheres to the wall. Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel ceiling is a prime example.
In an era where the trend of personalizing living space is increasingly popular, murals have returned and affirmed their position.
In contrast, Fresco Secco, or drywall, is a later and less sophisticated technique. Pigments are mixed with a binder and then applied to the dry plaster, creating a less durable film of color. However, Leonardo da Vinci's "The Last Supper" is a prime example of the technique's beauty and power.

The profession of mural painting has only appeared in recent years and has received the attention of many people.

With just a white wall, a few beautiful paint cans, artists have created a new coat for the street's face, bringing a new breeze to passersby and attracting art lovers to admire and feel.
There have been many projects in the graffiti community to change people's perspective on these somewhat scribbled images.

In particular, painting on the wall cannot be erased like on paper, so the painter must be careful and precise. Because of love for the profession, love for beauty, many artists are willing to bring the most wonderful spaces, joy to everyone with murals.
