Elton Monroy Durán

Brilliant painter who has done many ex­cel­lent mu­rals for quite a few Detroit busi­ness­es and or­gan­i­za­tions, oc­ca­sion­al­ly in col­lab­o­ra­tion with Peter Da­ni­el Ber­nal.

Most of his mu­rals are out­door mu­rals, but a few are in­door murals (the one in the Sec­re­tary of State office near the Am­bas­sa­dor Bridge, and the one in­side E & L Super­mer­ca­do, near the en­trance, to give just two ex­am­ples).

Winner of the Kresge Fellowship in the Visual Arts, 2023.
