The Cyprus Tree Ceramic Tile Mural

Tile murals offer a stunning way to bring art and history into your home. Our captivating "Cyprus Tree" tile mural, also known as the Cypress Tree (Cupressus sempervirens), draws inspiration from the rich artistic traditions of the Middle East and the enduring beauty of this iconic tree. This particular design is a legacy of the late Marie Balian, a renowned artist whose work continues to inspire.

The Cypress tree has a long and storied history, particularly in Persian gardens. From the renowned Fin Garden to the majestic Dowlat-Abad, the Cypress takes center stage, its elegant form a symbol of enduring strength and beauty. One of the oldest living examples, the 4,000-year-old Sarv-e-Abarkooh in Iran, stands as a testament to its longevity. Even its fragrant and durable wood has played a role in history, famously used for the doors of St. Peter's Basilica. Closer to home, the Cypress, often called the "drama tree" in New Mexico, adds a touch of Mediterranean charm to the landscape.

Marie Balian's "Cyprus Tree" tile mural echoes the exquisite artistry found in the Blue Mosque and various palaces across the Middle East. Its roots lie deep in the studios of the Kutahya Armenian potters, the very source of the Balian studio's own heritage. This tile mural brings a piece of that rich artistic legacy to your space, transforming any wall into a work of art. Whether you're looking to enhance your bathroom tile design concept or create a stunning kitchen tile backsplash, this versatile mural will add a touch of timeless elegance.
