"Celestial Guardian of the Arts District"
Arts District (Downtown Los Angeles), Ca

Located at the main entrance of the Aliso Apartments in Downtown Los Angeles’ Arts District, this mural anchors one of DTLA’s most creative neighborhoods. Inspired by Asian cultures such as India and China, the white tiger symbolizes power, royalty, and divine protection. In this piece, my signature Graffiti Spirit™character holds the tools of the artist while standing before the iconic 6th Street Bridge, creating a sense of depth, movement, and connection between street art, culture, and the evolving landscape of Los Angeles.

Thanks to Dilip Bhavnani and the entire Aliso Apartments staff for making this a smooth and fun project!
Thank you Miguel Vargas and the Arts District Los Angeles BID for the support as well.
