PORTRAIT OF A HERO LLC. produces indoor and outdoor murals for communities, corporations, industries, NGO’s, schools, universities, and private individuals. We provide colorful, impactful murals at competitive costs with long-term durability.
Our murals are a unifying community art project. We use community members to paint individual one-foot square tiles that are assembled in a grid to form the large scale painted portrait.
The mural can be of any hero or heroine, meaningful image, logos, mascot, historical character, slogans, or other significant image.
The primary goal of the mural is to create a connection between hero or heroine and community. Each artist personalizes their tile with their name, which records their participation and bonds them to the community experience. It reinforces the story of the hero or heroine. As the community views an iconic portrait of their family member or cultural leader captured on such a large scale, it creates strong feelings of pride. Pride leads to feelings of well-being, unity, and gives a community a greater sense of self-identity. There is a great cohesive power of having strong common heroes. Participation gives feelings of accomplishment that lead to desire to complete other goals in life.
