We are currently hand painting a Zuber mural reproduction in for a private residence in Connecticut. One of the panels is from the “Eldorado” series.

This flamboyant panoramic wallpaper, first printed in 1848,  has 24 breadths that are hand printed with 1554 blocks and 210 different colors. The scenic Zuber El Dorado depicts four major continents, Europe, Asia, Africa and the Americas.

We will begin the next panel which will be an original piece that will be a continuation of this panel using similar palette, stone architecture, landscape and trees, etc. I called a friend and partner of mine  Pascal Amblard to help me design the other panel which we will show in part 2.
