I was lucky enough to visit Angkor Wat and the Ta Prohm Temple ruins complex in Cambodia a few years back, it's an enormous site with an incredible amount of ruined temples covered in sculpted detail, quite beautiful, so in keeping with this awesome reality I was asked to paint here an enormous Angkor jungle mural with lots of beautiful detail! Produced to transform a rather cold feeling (it was all white) indoor swimming pool area into a warm and welcoming haven of fun and relaxation, the original work took three months from conception to completion, and included remodelling of the jacuzzi and building a fiberglass tree. However, due to a new changing room being built and the old cubicles and jacuzzi removed, I was called in to rework a large area of this mural. These pictures show the final result.
Angkor Wat ruined temple complex, with its amazing structures and incredible trees, forms the theme for this atmospheric swimming pool mural. The huge arched gateways form the entrances to Angkor Thom, A vast complex of temples including Ta Prohm, all of which have been used for inspiration for this mural.

The mural was painted by hand, directly on to the wall, as are most of the murals on this website.
