After successful collaborations in London, Miami, Austin, and Paris, citizenM Hotels once more commissioned Justkids to produce an expansive art installation at their brand new property in Rome's historic center — An impressive hand-painted 4,500 square foot-long ceiling mural created by Italian artist UNO featuring dynamic multi-layered patterns, shapes, and symbols, that welcomes guests with a playful rhythm, connects them to the city’s vibrant creative spirit and keeps them coming back.

To achieve this massive artwork, the artist employed a blend of hand-painted techniques in the grand tradition of Italian painting which spans from indoor to outdoor. This approach highlights UNO's artistic style and intricate attention to detail.

“When I began conceptualizing the design, I immediately thought about the people who would eventually be in the hotel, gazing up at it. I aimed to create an atmosphere of relaxation, delineating various zones, like clusters, where each area presents a different design element. However, when viewed as a whole, it forms another distinct design. As you walk through, you'll experience a sense of flow and change, punctuated by vibrant spots of color that draw inspiration from my beloved city of Rome.”
