About the photo

The mural "BEHIND CLOSED DOORS" by D*Face is a striking and thought-provoking piece located on The Plaza Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.

The use of bold, contrasting colors, and intricate details gives the mural a dynamic and textured quality. The distorted perspective and surreal imagery create a sense of unease, inviting the viewer to contemplate the meaning behind the piece.

Overall, "BEHIND CLOSED DOORS" is a powerful and captivating mural that challenges the viewer's perception of reality and invites them to question the hidden aspects of our everyday lives.

"“I get to stay in many varied hotels in many cities, as such I’ve become fascinated with the comings and goings in these dwellings, the people, the stories, the lives that have been before,” said D*Face. “I wanted to play and use the architecture to present a mural to the public that is both a reference to and, I hope, a homage to hotel life.”"

The utilization of a fresh and minimalistic composition, along with the manipulation of natural light, has developed from a profound admiration and reverence for the art and craft of painting. Through the use of compositional elements such as the building's exterior and the stark contrast between the sky and the mural has allowed me to create a visually compelling and aesthetically pleasing representation of this iconic piece.
