SALT Murals | Oceanside, California
The murals were created for a mixed-use development, SALT, in Oceanside, California. Just steps from the Oceanside Pier, the theme for the artwork was inspired by the iconic pier, surfing, beachlife and layered with fragments and symbols speaking to regional landmarks and local amenities.

The Vision Behind The Art
The inspiration behind the artwork goes beyond mere decoration. It tells a visual story, layering iconic elements like the Oceanside Pier and crashing waves with subtle nods to local landmarks and amenities. This tapestry of imagery reflects the vibrant beach life and urban energy that residents will experience at SALT.
The Process
Lee created the art as vector-based, scalable digital art, so it can be output at the final size according to the building plans. The art was designed with precision to reinforce the brand’s color palette and to be output onto the lobby wall, as well as mounted wall art and as a bicycle wrap. The artwork was sent as digital files to a local print vendor, then fabricated and installed on site.
About The Artist
Lee’s art is a reflection of how he sees the world and its pieces. He creates visual narratives made up of layers, design, symbols and movement. Like an architect, he designs each piece as a place where emotion, spirit and story come together — with the intent to bring joy to those who experience it.
