Some of nature’s most stunning vistas aren’t found here on earth. Inspired by starscapes that include galaxies and nebulae, Imago Dei has done several amazing ceiling murals for clients who wanted a dramatic statement. These murals are air brushed by artists to replicate actual astronomical images obtained by high-powered telescope. The colors and patterns may seem wild, but these are the actual hues and designs of these features as carried lightyears across space.
For this stunning media room, designed by Keron Weathered of Designer Showcase for Bayou Bend Homes, miniature fiber optic lights were used for stars that actually twinkle and shine to make this ceiling mural come to life. We worked with the designer to make sure that a moving light shooting star was given its full potential as it occasionally blazes across the ceiling.
A distant nebulae was custom air brushed for this spectacular sectioned barrel vault entry into a game and entertainment area in a Houston residence designed by Vaishali Mody of Mody & Mody.

it’s nice to see something else other than the norm for murals. this must be spectacular to view on site. I have been an airbrush artist among other mediums for many years and have done a number of spectacular sunset scenes for murals. I’m glad to see someone else
using this kind of thinking. At the MFA in Boston we did a gradient sky scene with a beautiful plum color at the horizon fading up to a soft blue white at the top of the wall. For a japanese exhibit this worked well for a sprayed on application.
