SFO
International Terminal
Gate G Level 3
Post TSA
The plaque on this piece reads:
Arrival at SFO is the beginning of a new life for many immigrants. Just as the surrounding wetlands prove sanctuary for shore birds during their annual migration. the mural is painted in fresco buono an ancient technique that mixes pigment directly into wet plaster.
The artists on this piece were Juana Alicia and Emmanuel Catarino Montoyo. Both of these artists have been in this website before, you can read about both of them here.
This piece was commissioned by the San Francisco Art Commission for the Airport in 1999.

This is fabulous. I didn’t know anyone was still doing authentic frescoes anymore. It takes a sure hand.
There is such wonderful art at that airport!
