AN artist is being sought to paint a giant mural of the Malvern Hills that could become a focal point for visitors.

The owner of Premiere Pizza, in Friary Walk, has extended the business to include a new bar/restaurant area and hopes the painting will be a centrepiece.

James Abolghafemi-Malekadabi has plans for a painting on the wall of the restaurant with water coming out of it through a special tube into a pond below.

He said: "We hope that the painting will be a focal point for visitors to the restaurant and maybe even become know as a viewing point across Malvern.

"The extension is an open space and the floor is going to be glass. It is a place where people can relax and enjoy a drink and something to eat. We hope it will have a calming effect.

"We want an artist who is going to relish the opportunity to work on such a big canvas."

The painting, and the extension, will be officially launched during an open day in June. As such, any artist who is interested is going to have to start work quickly.
