Interior murals for santa fe and el jimador tequila

Client: Santa Fe Restaurant with additional sponsorship by El Jimador Tequila

When: February 2016

Brief: Fieldey was tasked with creating "the best mural you've ever done" by the owners of the iconic Santa Fe restaurants in Perth. They had newly purchased the Subiaco Santa Fe restaurant and felt that the decore needed updating. The brief was open, but it had to brighten the space and add interest.

​Outcome: Fieldey decided to fill the large three-section wall with a story about Frida Kahlo. Basing it on Frida's famous piece "Las Dos Fridas", she painted a large portrait of Frida in the main room. Frida is holding a heart that has a blood vessel that winds along the wall into the next room which features Diego Rivera, in toad form, holding an identical linked heart. The third wall features a mariachi skeleton holding a bottle of El Jimador Tequila. 

All the colours are based on traditional Mexican painting styles and the finished murals became iconic in Perth.
