Grazing amid long stemmed flowers, a gazelle looks up, perhaps to sniff the air. On one side of an enormous, muted-green and yellow "Tree of Life", a lion falls on a frightened gazelle: on the other, two other gazelles continue to feed serenely. However modest in size, each scene is complete, and thanks to precise design and understated color, meditatively alive..." - More from the article Congressman Frank Pallone - "M. Karakashian, the founder, was the painter of the original group from Kutahya, and the painting of his descendants’ work still excels.

In this kitchen, the Peacock and red pomegranate tile mural covers the area above the cook top. The size is 30 x 24 inches, including the floral border tile going around the mural. The color of the mural is light blue, and our client was able to find matching aqua blue field tiles to cover the rest of the wall. Notice that the field tiles are smaller than the mural tiles - the size contrast works well. All the colors in the kitchen are vibrant. There are reds, browns, blues and yellows. Together with plenty of natural light coming through the windows, this makes it a very lively looking kitchen. Anything but boring or mundane.
