Design
The mural depicts an animated underwater panorama with fish swimming at varying depths, creating visual layering and natural movement. Vertical aquatic plants rise through the composition, unifying the scene across tile seams. The horizontal layout avoids strict symmetry, allowing the mural to feel fluid and organic, while the sandy seabed anchors the design with warm earth tones.
Decorative Border
A fully framed Talavera cenefa surrounds the mural using tiles identical in size to the scene tiles. The border features repeating floral and heart-like motifs in yellow, green, red, and white over deep cobalt blue. These ornamental elements reinforce the handcrafted character and visually contain the underwater narrative.
