Let’s admit it, hospitals can be quite depressing. The smell of sanitizer in the air, the monochromatic color scheme, and the neon lighting. So Italian artist Silvio Irilli took it upon himself to make a difference. The project stretched over 7 years, during which Irilli transformed the units of 12 different hospitals: from an ophthalmologist's office to the reception of a children's clinic, a radiology department, and several cancer units.
His signature style is large colorful murals, featuring cartoon-like animals, nature scenes, and his favorite, aquatic life. These landscapes make the rooms seem more spacious, but mainly more inviting. “It means bringing a message of welcome, of support to the doctors who must follow the patient and accompany him for therapy. Above all, it means giving some relief to patients who have to face a path where courage and dignity are needed," Irilli has been quoted in Bored Panda.
