Highlighting Tiles - Frost Proof Talavera Murals

Hand painted by Mexican artisans, Frost-proof tile murals serve as wonderful accents for a kitchen back-splash as they naturally form a center-piece above the stove in a well-lit position. Frost-proof Talavera murals also complement ceramic tile bathroom design and are particularly appropriate for decorative garden design as they are frost-proof and more durable than regular Talavera tiles. Considered by many as a piece of art in their own right, Talavera murals can be displayed alone or surrounded by flat tiles which enhances the visual impact of the decorative wall murals. Mexican Talavera tile murals have deep roots in Mexican history. The Mayans and Aztecs painted scenes of everyday life onto the walls of their temples and palaces, depicting and documenting the battles and the celebrations, painting their dancers and musicians and leaving behind a legacy of creative expression. Mexican tile murals continue to tell stories and evoke emotional responses and the tile designs further emboss each story with their individual decorative ceramic accent.
