Your home is your castle and your oasis, where you can escape the outside world. It’s your refuge, and it’s a reflection of you. The decorating possibilities are endless, and now they can take on another dimension with Murallusions by Curtis Stokes. The master muralist’s works have been seen on ABC’s “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” and Fox Networks’ “Renovate My Family,” while his list of celebrity clients includes filmmaker Steven Spielberg and Playboy founder Hugh Hefner, as well as actors Henry Winkler and Jason Alexander. His creations are also available to private homeowners who want to adorn their abodes with a mural as unique as they are.

On “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition,” Stokes has created a wide variety of murals, from the gritty (”Boxers”) to the ethereal (”Space Scene”) to the poetic (”Jazz Scene”). For “Renovate My Family,” he drew inspiration from Japanese anime comics. He has been called on by representatives of the L.A. Auto Auction, as well as business clients such as the Boulderdash indoor rock-climbing facility, the Pasadena Tile Company, and many other organizations in Southern California. Curtis Stokes’s expertise and experience also extends to fine art, body paint, swimming pools, and black light portraits. In short, he’s a versatile and talented man!

This expertise can now be a part of your home. Within those four walls, you can let your hair down and watch your tensions float away, but now you can kick up your escape another notch. Imagine walking into a room lightened up by fluffy clouds, a dense rainforest, or the streets of Paris. Curtis Stokes has carried off all these images for homeowners like you, but now you can request your own slice of paradise. Maybe you want a warm beach scene, some bracing, snow-capped mountains, or a flowing river. You name it, and Curtis will make it a reality. The only limits are your imagination.

There are few forms of art as personal as a painting. Taken together, those individual strokes add up to a greater work that can only be imitated but never fully reproduced. Collectively, they also hold the power to transport your mind to another place and time. In the past, custom painting was the domain of royalty and other members of the nobility. But with Curtis Stokes’s Murallusions, that visual power can come to your home in the form of a grand mural. All that’s left for you to do is to dream it up.
