Wall paintings
Wall paintings are artworks created directly onto the surfaces of walls, often as murals or decorative features. They can serve artistic, religious, or cultural purposes and are found in many environments—from ancient caves and temples to modern buildings. Techniques include painting with natural pigments, fresco (pigment applied to wet plaster), and recent murals using modern paints. These works can tell stories, commemorate events, or beautify spaces. Wall paintings provide valuable insights into historical societies, their beliefs, and artistic styles, making them important cultural artifacts preserved for study and appreciation.
