Mural & Branding Project – Café in Mahallat

Date: July 2025 (Tir 1404)
Duration: 14 days
Medium: Plastic paint (base layers), oil paint, markers on gypsum drywall and plastered walls
Location: Mahallat, Iran
Client: Local café

This project is one of my personal favorites, combining both mural painting and branding design. Alongside the murals, I created the café’s logo and designed various promotional materials, including stamps and window stickers.

The mural work was divided into multiple sections:

• Counter Design: An abstract, geometric composition based on the café’s brand colors (black and burgundy), executed with oil paint over a plastic-painted base on gypsum drywall.

• Wall Murals: One drywall surface was painted solid black at the client’s request, while another was transformed into a highly detailed mural. This mural featured a crimson background with white circles, each filled with illustrations inspired by cinema, gaming, and abstract design.

  • Characters such as those from Friends, John Wick, and Heisenberg appeared alongside logos from Marvel, DC, Warner Bros., Netflix, and more.

  • Additional circles contained abstract and surreal imagery, blending client-driven ideas with my artistic input.

  • Details were added with black, silver, and gold markers, creating depth and variety.

• Doors & Windows: Painted with oil paint to unify the space with the overall design.

The result was a vibrant, detail-rich environment that reflects both the café’s identity and a playful dialogue between pop culture, abstraction, and geometry. For me, this remains one of my best and most enjoyable projects.
