Fine murals

Murals have a relationship with the city, architecture and urban planning. Dominique and Jenny Antony have been mural painters since 1982. They have completed over 300 murals in many parts of the world.

Enghien-les-Bains

Architectural trompe-l'oeil

Dominique Antony was commissioned to paint a mural on this wall in Enghein-Les-Bains near Paris by the City Council in 2018. Dominique previously had painted 3 murals in the town .The council received extremely positive feedback from the inhabitants and  commissioned this 4th mural from Dominique.
Dominique’s work blends in with the 19th century architecture of the town. In this example you see an interpretation of an existing home in the area on a background of bricks which is the continuity of the actual building it is painted on. It continues the front facade. This is called a Trompe l’oeil.

An architectural continuity and blending in with the surroundings and style was required.

Creativity and imagination for a unsightly wall...
