Leila Parnian, a renowned mural artist, has transformed downtown Phoenix with a vibrant new mural on the soon-to-open Saiya Apartment Building.

This 230-foot-tall masterpiece, located near 1st Avenue and McKinley Street, stands as the tallest mural in Arizona.

Parnian freehanded the entire design from top to bottom, working meticulously from a suspended swing stage.

Supported by her two-person team, she persevered through scorching heat and even a summer monsoon over two months of dedicated work.

She hopes the mural’s bold colors and dynamic energy inspire passersby to dream bigger and feel uplifted.

Known also for her talents in furniture design, art instruction, and DJing, Parnian continues to be a driving creative force in Phoenix’s flourishing art scene.

This mural not only energizes the cityscape but also captures the community’s vibrant spirit.
