About the Company

We are the writers behind the walls.

A mural company of muralists and graffiti artists painting South Africa and beyond, one landmark wall at a time.

Our Story

Started as one artist with a crate of spray cans — now a group of artists painting flagship walls across South Africa and beyond.

OpenMind Murals began as a solo company — one artist obsessed with the idea that a wall could do more than hold up a roof. Over ten years that obsession turned into a group of artists: designers, muralists and spray painters who take a brief and put it on concrete at scale.

We've painted retail flagships, corporate headquarters, restaurants, schools and private homes. Whatever the surface, our job is the same — make people stop, look, and remember. Every commission is treated as a commercial asset first and art second, because the best walls do both.

We work nationally from our Johannesburg base — and internationally — bringing the same respect for the craft to a boardroom feature wall as we do to a five-storey exterior.

How We Think

Principles that keep our walls honest.

01

Concept first

We don't paint filler. Every wall starts with an idea that ties to your brand, your space and the people who'll walk past it.

02

Whatever the method

We use every method available to deliver the highest-quality outcome and complete customer satisfaction — whatever a design calls for, whether that means printing or hand-painting.

03

Built to last

Professional-grade paints and sealants rated for South African sun and weather, so an exterior mural still reads years later.

The Process

From blank wall to landmark.

Brief & site visit

We walk the wall with you, take measurements and light, and dig into what the space needs to say. You leave with a clear scope and honest pricing.

Concept & design

We develop artwork concepts and to-scale mock-ups so you see the mural on your actual wall before a drop of paint is opened.

Paint

Our crew preps, protects and paints on schedule — professional materials, tidy site, minimal disruption to your trading or living space.

Seal & hand-over

We seal the work for longevity, photograph it properly for your marketing, and hand over a wall that's ready to earn its keep.
