In Guadalajara, a Ceramic Tile Mural Mimics a Sun-Drenched Ecosystem

Thousands of handmade ceramic tiles nest together like a puzzle on the facade of the Torre San Luis hotel in Guadalajara, Mexico. Abstract shapes evocative of a lush garden ecosystem burst across the outdoor wall in a collaboration between Alex Proba and the artisans of Cerámica Suro.

Titled “Shape of Movement,” the large-scale public work melds Proba’s organic visual language with a color palette that reflects the local environment. Earthy neutrals, alongside dusty pinks and blues, mimic the sun-drenched landscape, while the dynamic forms appear as if they’re mid-motion.

“The work is about the movement we carry through spaces every day,” Proba shares. “I wanted the mural to feel as if the shapes are interacting with one another and flowing through the architecture itself.”

This is the second collaboration between Proba and Cerámica Suro, following a vibrant swimming pool installation at a Miami home. Find more from both the artist and the studio on Instagram.
