El Segundo Blue: Doubletree by Hilton Mural

This mural at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel El Segundo–LAX in El Segundo, California is a 1,000-square-foot exterior installation inspired by the El Segundo Blue butterfly, a locally significant species native to the coastal dunes of the area. The composition pairs an abstract, atmospheric background with layered, hand-painted graphic butterflies, creating a sense of motion and ecological reference across the façade. The work engages the hotel’s exterior wall as a public-facing canvas, connecting place-based identity with contemporary mural painting through a balance of abstraction and natural symbolism.
