About the Mural

"The Birth of a Star" Mural

 
This is the vivid and rich mural "The Birth of a Star." It is the work of two international artists from Argentina—David Petroni and Juan Ramon. David created the sketch for the mural, and Juan brought it to life. The subject of the piece is geometric abstraction.

 
Artist David commented on the concept: "The concept of this work is explained as follows: when two cultures draw close, a certain brilliance appears. Typically, this can be seen when two different cultures come into contact. This connection results in a certain shine and radiance. I would say this work demonstrates the care and unity I see among the Russian people."

Juan Ramon helped bring the conceived sketch to reality.

 
"From the very first day, the people of this neighborhood surrounded me with warmth and care. I see that Russian people behave this way not only towards me personally but towards all participants of the 'Omsk, You're Just Space' festival. Every person has that very brilliance which David and I have depicted on the mural," notes Juan.
