Whispers of the Tropics: Mosaic Murals for MC Luxury, Bangalore

For this residential project in Bangalore, MC Luxury commissioned two custom mosaic wall murals from MEC Artworks.

“The tropical mosaics challenge the eye with layered geometry and restrained cool tones. In scaling them to murals, we amplified pattern and form”

Commissioning handcrafted artwork from another country requires trust in both the maker and the process behind the work.

Binoy, our client, played a central role in coordinating between the interior design team and our studio, ensuring that information flowed clearly and decisions were made without delays. 

Client Brief

The two mosaics were designed for very different spots.

The arched mural is all about a single botanical shape. Soft greens, greys, and subtle metallics were chosen to complement the curve of the niche.

The bedroom mural takes a bigger approach. Layered tropical leaves form the backdrop, with a bird tucked among them rather than perched on top.

Before any material decisions were finalised, MC Luxury’s architects shared detailed drawings, elevations, and reference imagery.

Inspiration Moodboard

The client shared tropical mosaic designs as our starting point. We explored references that emphasized texture, form, and color in ways that could translate to large-scale murals.

Key inspirations included:

  • Layered tropical foliage – palms and leaves simplified into geometric forms.
  • Abstracted flower patterns – bold shapes with subtle color variations.
  • Cool, restrained palette – keeping the vibrancy of the tropics while staying sophisticated.
  • Water and natural textures – hints of fluidity to contrast the structured shapes.

Design Development

Initial Sketches

The initial sketches combine architectural plans, design annotations, and early concept explorations, mapping how the mosaics could come to life as full-scale murals

Mosaic Design Annotation

2D & 3D Visualizations

MC Luxury provided 2D and 3D visualizations, helping us see how the mosaic-inspired murals would interact with the space and scale before execution.

Color Palette & Materials

The murals draw from a cool-tone palette, adding to the luxurious feel of the residence.

Arched Mural - Tropical Theme Continuity

Second mosaic – stayed true to the tropical theme, featuring a bird nestled among layered foliage.

Handcrafted work often reveals its true character gradually. During reviews, photographs of the first mosaic raised concerns about background reflectivity. We explained how surrounding light and surfaces can amplify reflection in images, even when the material itself remains subtle in person.

“Both murals have been approved by the architect. Could you please proceed with the dispatch at your earliest convenience?”

— Binoy, MC Luxury

Once completed, the mosaics were packed and shipped from our warehouse in Dubai to India via DHL. Customs delays followed, as they often do with international art shipments.

Our involvement did not end with dispatch. We remained actively engaged with the client, Binoy, shipping agents, and customs authorities until the artworks were cleared.
