Custom Murals for Commercial Spaces
Recent Commercial Work
Kings Brewing Company – Upland
Full interior build-out across five surfaces: main bar wall, four ceiling soffits, and six canvases. Approximately 500 square feet of calligraffiti completed solo in four days. Scope expanded on-site after walking the space, original commission was the bar wall only.
Art Supply Warehouse – Westminster
Four murals painted on this exterior over multiple years, most recently a collaboration with Panchito Tattoos. The piece is titled Creation Through Chaos, a Greco Roman portrait framed by calligraffiti lettering.
Giants Casting Shadows (GCS) – Downtown Santa Ana
Multiple murals painted at this street art gallery and clothing store on the DTSA Art Walk circuit. Work here ranges from a black and gold doorway installation covering both side walls and the ceiling, to a blood red 3D calligraffiti mandala. GCS has been part of my public work in Downtown Santa Ana since 2015.
The Blue Lot – Downtown Santa Ana
Exterior mural for an outdoor street art gallery at 1st and Bush in Downtown Santa Ana. The piece runs 42 feet wide by 12 feet tall and is the only brush-painted mural in the lot. Completed in one week.
Progress on Main – El Monte
Interior mural for a brewery on Main Street in El Monte. The piece is a 3D calligraffiti mandala, 10 feet wide by 8 feet tall, painted in turquoise and yellow. Hidden messages are embedded in the lettering.
El Camino College Art Exhibition – Torrance
Three-wall installation for “Aqui Y Alla Y Mas,” a Mexican and Chicano art exhibition at El Camino College. The mural spans the main gallery wall and was completed in six hours.
Interior and Exterior Murals Across Southern California
I’m a mural artist based in Orange County. I work on commercial properties, live art events, and residential spaces across Southern California.
My style is called calligraffiti, a collision of calligraphy letterforms and graffiti structure. Every piece is built around hidden messages embedded in the strokes. Most people see the composition first. The words come later.
I’ve painted everything from a 42 foot exterior wall in Downtown Santa Ana to a 13 foot interior accent wall in a private Irvine residence. Scale and setting change. The approach doesn’t.
A conversation about calligraffiti, where the style came from, and the message behind the work — filmed at Art Supply Warehouse in Orange County.
“Every mural that I paint
is unplanned,
but intentional.
They look abstract
But carry messages
that are subliminal.
They speak to the masses,
but can you hear?
Then the strokes pull you in
so the vision is clear.”
– Zak Perez
About the Artist
I’ve been painting public murals since 2015. My style came out of a personal transformation. I started studying the Bible and the words wouldn’t leave me, so I put them into art. The murals I paint move between scales, this style can work at any size. I also write poetry and do spoken word performances. The practices feed each other. The words start on the page, end up on the wall. Most pieces have something hidden in the strokes, a word, a phrase, a name. When I have full creative freedom it comes from scripture, poetry or another encouraging message. When I’m working with a client it’s whatever matters to them. A company motto. A founder’s initials. A kid’s name painted into a wall their parent commissioned.
