The elephant mural at the Massala Bar is a captivating artwork, featuring an intricately designed elephant head painted in a mix of warm and vibrant colors. Artistic patterns, floral motifs and geometric shapes contrast with the live action of the chefs performing in the kitchen window, drawing from traditional Indian and Asian design influences, creating a visually striking focal point on the burnt orange wall inspired by the colours of the tandoor.
The mural’s background is subtly decorated with additional patterns in muted tones that harmonize with the wall’s burnt orange color, enhancing the mural without detracting from the central elephant figure. Adjacent to the mural, a beige tiled wall introduces a neutral contrast, balancing the boldness of the artwork.
The well-lit space around the mural, with light fixtures above, highlights the mural’s textures and colors. Reflections of the nearby restaurant area, faintly visible behind the mural, hint at the lively dining environment, blending art and ambiance in a way that enriches the overall decor of the bar.
