Muraca is the artist who painted the wrap-around mural on the 'hut' on Cork's Marina. In July 1872, Cork Corporation formally adopted 'The Marina' as the new promenade's name. Muraca doesn't have an expertise in porcelain-making so he drafted in Cork artist Rebecca Bradley Young () to craft the leaves which give a tactile 3-d element to the work. Some of the paint work is initially emulsion so I had to go back and re-do some that was washed off. Italian street artist Raffaele Muraca at work on the pavilion on the Marina in Cork.
