Abel Macias’s mural for Proper Downtown L.A
Designed for the soon to open Proper Hotel in Downtown L.A, this next level mural is the handiwork of multidisciplinary artist Abel Macias and his vast collection of paint brushes. Collaborating with world-renowned designer Kelly Wearstler who is responsible for the impeccable interiors, Abel was tasked with creating a mural that worked harmoniously with the old architectural elements of the historic vaulted ceiling in the entrance lobby. Inspired by his Mexican roots and the textile patterns and folk art remembered from his childhood, Abel developed a palette of rich colours paired with animal motifs and botanical elements that wrap their way around the ceiling and walls.
