Artists have turned London children's hospital into a colorful place
The offices and hallways, the sounds and smells of the hospital make this place terrifying for children. But the hospital shouldn't instill fear. The British art organization Vital Arts, responsible for introducing art to British hospitals, has brought together 15 artists to transform the interior of the Royal Children's Hospital in London into an amazing and colorful place.
Despite the fact that the hospital has to be constantly cleaned, artists were still able to use vinyl, ceramics, wood, and even carpets to bring these hospital walls to life. Each artist has created his own unique style.

4. The artist tried to depict all the images that he kept in memory for many years and splashed them out in his work. Thus, elements of circus, art deco, Asian culture, Victorian architecture appeared on the walls and this is not a complete list. Initially, the artist transferred everything to paper in the form of sketches, and then to the walls.
