Custom Painted Pillars for Canva, London, 2025​​

​

Overview
Commissioned by Canva, this project involved transforming six structural pillars within their London HQ community space through a series of large-scale painted interventions.

​

Brief
The aim was to bring colour, energy, and a stronger sense of identity to the shared environment, creating a more engaging space for staff gatherings, events, and everyday use.

​

Approach
Using an abstract visual language of bold shapes, soft curves, and playful compositions, each pillar was designed to work as an individual piece while contributing to a cohesive scheme across the room. The placement of colour and form was carefully considered so the artwork shifts and reveals itself from different viewpoints, encouraging movement through the space.

​

Execution
Each pillar was painted on-site over two days, with designs adapted to the scale, sightlines, and surrounding architecture of the open-plan interior.

 

Outcome
The project turns functional architectural elements into vibrant focal points, adding personality and rhythm to the space while demonstrating how mural work can reshape everyday environments.
