David Polka brings his stylistic incorporation of color, geometric shapes and landscape to create this vibrant mural for Zendo, a coffee shop meets art hub business in Albuquerque, NM. With rushing water running across the scene set between a mountain of triangles and a zig-zagging lightning cliff, soft almost water-colored clouds float in the happy, yellow Polka sky.
