One of the most ambitious art projects taken on by Artistic Tile's Art Studio, is the Kwan Pool Project. Done in two stages, first, the under water mural, then the fountain wall, each stage took several months to complete. Despite the scope of the project, no shortcuts were taken to provide less than the highest detail on every square inch of the mural, right down to bugs on the leaves, and shiny eyes on the creatures. |
Symbolism abounds in the mural. Plants and animals were carefully chosen from Chinese Folklore to provide harmony, balance, good luck, fortune, health, and happiness for the family. At the bottom of the pool, is a medallion that stands for good fortune and longevity, surrounded by bats, which each have symbols representing special talents of each member of the family..successful business, talent in music, scholastics, etc. |
