La Catrina Mural, In the Round, on Cone Boulevard

This mural of La Catrina is painted on the building that formerly housed Hamm's Restaurant on Cone Boulevard. It brightens up a spot that has been empty for several years now. If you ever drive past the back side of Page High School, you have probably seen it. The artist, Raman Bhardwaj moved from India to Greensboro in 2018 and his artwork has been gaining considerable recognition. In 2019, Bhardwaj was one of five Triad artists selected to have his art featured on highway billboards for a year.*

Bhardwaj is very talented in many different mediums of art and is especially adept at using spray paint and painting fast. In his two short years here, in Greensboro, he has painted about two dozen murals. Much of his art incorporates images, styles, and themes of Indian art and culture. Culture and mythology are big themes in Bhardwaj's art. Making meaningful art is important to him. Read more about his artistic journey in this Triad City Beat article.

A big thank you to our friend Rosario Fama Hankins whose photo of this mural prompted us to take a picture of it, en route to the grocery store!
