Brazilian murals by the painter Marcos Andruchak

Muralism of Andruchak in Brazil - A mural is a painting on a wall, ceiling, or other large permanent surface.The term became famous with the Mexican muralist art movement (Diego Rivera, David Siqueiros, and José Orozco). There are many techniques of painting or relief. The best-known is probably fresco, which uses water soluble paints with a damp lime wash, a rapid use of the resulting mixture over a large surface, and often in parts (but with a sense of the whole). The colors lighten when dried.
