Have you seen this?
I’m calling it Amman’s biggest painting (prove me wrong if you know a bigger one). The wall of the Radisson SAS hotel has been undergoing a transformation for the past few weeks.
The work is by owl-obsessed artist Rima Malallah, who also happens to run the Love on a Bike shop near Rainbow Street.
I finally got to photograph the wall.
Would love to hear what everyone thinks?

i appreciate the effort put, but i didnt like it, too bright colors is one thing, why are the owls so angry?? and the whole drawing is so plane that it doesnt make you think.. the upper blue ruined the downward green contrast. i dont know..
Rima’s work is not only amazing, but sexy!
Not bad at all.
Word has it that Omar Maani, after driving by, sent a letter to the management of the Radisson Sas telling them that the wall painting was a “public nuisance” and that it had to be removed
I’ve been tracking it since the first outline, and loving it. I walk past that wall and it puts a smile on my face thanking the artist for infusing color into our day.
More, more!!
I love it! Was seeing her in the past few weeks painting the wall. Excellent work! Something new nice to see
I like tha wall painting, some work of art. I checked her website, what a nice beuatoful shop she got
haven’t seen it for real but from your pictures it looks colorful and nice..
I liked very much your brilliant article in Assyjjil today. I think you should re-publish it in your blog here. You write in excellent Arabic. Have you thought of making this blog bilingual?
just yesterday someone told me that orphans is drwaing on the walls…couldnt absorbe it, but wasnt paying much attention at the time….now it sounds more reasonable…i like Rima’s style of drawing and painting but didnt love this one though, but here we go a feamle finally painting on amman’s street walls
I liked the idea of painting walls, didn’t get the drawing anyway.
In the first picture , I think the artist in describing the 7 hills of amman , I don’t though , I could be wrong , Anyways great work , I think every signle wall in amman like this one should be painted , It’s a great idea , It will give a amazing color to the city , I wish they unleash the artist on amman walls.
i love it! fantastique! still wanna try walking along it though
more colours plz =)
We need to prioritize this “water tank branding”
As noted below, the client has asked us to apply the wave graphic, plus logos on white background (repeated at least three times so the logos shows from any position around the tank). But we are also asked to include some layouts using a large “long-term” image (girl in regular clothes pouring water from tap, girl in abaya drinking water, etc.) as an option.
is there a good technology for applying a large image of a little girl on a huge tank like the attached picture? We don’t want to show a human figure if it’s going to look bad, or be damaged in the hot sun quickly, etc.
