Contemporary Ceramic Murals
Large-scale contemporary ceramic murals combining high-relief sculpture, handcrafted architectural tiles, custom stoneware ceramics, and richly glazed surfaces. Created by ceramic artist Fred Koschetzki, these permanent installations feature sculpted portraits, dragon imagery, and architectural clay artistry designed for homes, public spaces, and enduring architectural settings. Each mural is individually sculpted, glazed, kiln-fired, and installed as a permanent architectural ceramic artwork.
High Relief Celestial Dragon Ceramic Mural
An architectural ceramic mural exploring the relationship between light and darkness, day and night, and the boundary between the known and the unknown. A celestial dragon spirals through the radiance of the sun while a crescent moon reveals a mysterious passage beyond the visible world. Hand sculpted in high-relief stoneware and enriched with luminous ceramic glazes, the mural combines symbolic imagery, sculptural form, and architectural design.
Moonrise Mural
Moonrise Mural forms part of a larger monumental ceramic and stone sculpture inspired by celestial rhythms and transformation. The high-relief portrait emerges beneath a crescent moon and radiating forms that suggest moonrise, renewal, and the passage of time. Integrated into handcrafted masonry, the mural unites sculpture, architecture, and symbolic imagery within a single environmental artwork.

High-Relief Dragon Ceramic Mural
Emerging from a field of deep cobalt-blue tilework, this high-relief dragon mural combines sculptural form, symbolic imagery, and architectural stonework.
