#CeritaKita: The splendour of Malaysia through mural painting on petronas gas station

Abstract

Murals are works of public art that express ideas on a building's surface. The connections between how it's made, where it is, and what it represents have been demonstrated to be powerful visual communication tools for stimulating energy, activity, surroundings, social messages and patriotism spirit. Nowadays, companies like Petronas Dagangan Berhad support local artists to express their sense of local identity. By that, artists showcase their talents in a specific place, forming different styles and delivering the most imaginative affinities to the community. This activity gives hope to Malaysian artists and creatives in transforming local identity into a visual display.
