Stunning Wall Murals by Eric Grohe
New York born Eric Grohe
creates spectacular and vividly realistic wall murals and architectural
facades, transforming ordinary spaces into panoramic works of beauty,
depth and inspiration. Grohe uses a special German paint called keim
mineral paint which can last 130 years. Each mural can take
several months with Grohe enjoying every brush stroke. "Every project is
a grand adventure, if passion for the work and inspiration are your
guides," he said. Some of the murals he has painted reach 3,600ft.

Alan Grohe was born in New York City in 1944. His professional career
as a graphic designer and illustrator began in Seattle in 1961. In 1973,
he was asked to design graphics for Expo’74 in Spokane, Washington. At
this time, he began receiving commissions for his artwork, which have
continued to grow in scope and size, leading to today’s large-scale
trompe l’oeil murals. Throughout his 43-year career as a professional
artist, Grohe has received national recognition for his work, which is
now focused on painting figurative and architectural murals for clients
throughout the country
