Custom wall art for gyms, clubs, swimming pools and outdoor venues. Athlete imagery, club colours and graffiti developed around the character of the space and the sport it represents.
I'm Emil Stasovskiy, the artist known as ELMIO. My portfolio includes the Target Boxing Club reception, two Atlant pool projects and City Skate Park in Limassol and Germasogeia. These show different approaches, from an individual stencil composition to a mural across a long fence.
Discuss a sports mural
01 / Your space
A sports venue has its own brief: welcoming visitors, expressing the club’s character or connecting different training areas. A reception mural, a pool wall and a skate park fence call for different solutions. Viewing distance, movement through the space, equipment and architecture all matter.
A particular discipline, club colours, a name or a story can provide the starting point. Large figures, lettering and repeated shapes can create a composition for one wall or a sequence of surfaces. The content is discussed with the venue owner and the people who use it.
Athlete figures, abstract graphics or lettering can be considered for a training space. Mirrors, exercise machines, racks and wall-mounted equipment affect the choice of wall and image scale. The composition should be developed alongside the rest of the interior.
Artwork can reflect a discipline and a club’s values through a specific brief. At Target, two young boxers relate to children’s classes and standing up to school bullying. For another club, the imagery would be developed around its audience and aims.
Swimmers, waves and underwater imagery can be combined with club colours. Tell me about humidity, splashes and cleaning routines in advance. The portfolio shows painted walls and poolside columns; each surface needs to be assessed individually.
Long walls and fences allow rider imagery, graffiti and colour transitions to alternate. Exterior work takes account of the surface, access and weather. At City Skate Park, a shared palette connected a fence approximately 75 metres long.
02 / Completed projects
Four projects from the Sport portfolio category show different scales and aims: a club reception, a branded pool wall, a children’s swim-school interior and an outdoor skate park. Open the case studies for descriptions, overall views and details.
Limassol · 2022
A reception composition for the club in Limassol’s old town. At the client’s request, actual cut stencils were used: a 3 × 2 metre panel was transferred to the wall with spray paint. The theme connects children’s boxing with standing up to bullying.

Limassol · 2022
A graphic swimmer and underwater geometry in the club’s colours on the pool wall at Modus Vivendi Health Centre. The mural was painted with spray paint, while the Atlant logo was applied with a stencil.

Germasogeia · 2025
Marine imagery, waves and underwater shapes connect the walls and columns of the children’s pool. A shared blue and turquoise palette brings the interior together around a theme developed for a space used by children.

Germasogeia · 2023
An approximately 75-metre fence was painted in a shared street-art style for the park’s opening. Riders alternate with discipline names; exterior enamel and spray paint were used for the mural. The project also included the entrance logo design.

Sport can be expressed through movement, a recognisable figure, the graphics of water or a discipline’s name. We start with what matters to your venue: participant age, training style, the existing interior and club identity. The logo and colour palette can be integrated into the composition.
Overall photographs are as useful as close-ups. They show what obscures the wall and where it can be seen from. Pool columns and waterlines, gym mirrors and equipment, and the rhythm of a long exterior fence each influence the design. The sketch is developed around these conditions.
Figures express a particular discipline and its movement. At Target this is a boxing stance; at Atlant, a swimmer. Imagery needs to read from the chosen distance. Detail in faces, silhouettes and surrounding elements is adjusted to the wall size.
A logo, lettering and palette can provide the basis for the design. At Atlant, the club mark is integrated into an underwater composition. For a new project, send a good-quality logo and identify the elements that must be retained.
Lettering, large shapes and colour transitions can connect extended surfaces. At City Skate Park, discipline names alternate with riders. The wording, letter scale and number of focal points should be agreed before painting starts.
04 / Process
Send venue photographs, wall dimensions, the location and preferred timing. Explain the sport, the audience and the surfaces you want painted. For a gym or pool, show equipment, circulation routes and areas where the wall is regularly touched.
We discuss the theme, palette, figures, lettering and club identity. We can work from brand guidelines or explore a direction through references. Portfolio examples help identify an approach, while the new composition is developed for your space.
Before painting, the design, area and boundaries are agreed. Surface condition, preparation, access, budget and timing are discussed separately. For long walls, it is important to agree how individual sections connect into one composition.
Timing is coordinated with venue operations and access. Equipment and floor protection, wall preparation and painting conditions need to be agreed. Drying time and the return to normal use depend on the selected coating and its instructions.
05 / Budget
Area establishes scale, but the image, technique and access also affect the cost. A single logo, an athlete figure and an extended composition require different preparation. An estimate is discussed after reviewing photographs, dimensions and the brief.
Send an overall view, dimensions and your preferences for an initial discussion. Include a budget range if you have one: it helps define a suitable scope and detail. The form below sends an estimate enquiry; the final price requires clarification of the conditions.
Enter the dimensions so we can discuss possible designs and a suitable budget.
06 / Before you get in touch
Yes, these can form part of the artwork. At Atlant, club colours and the logo connect with the swimmer and underwater shapes. Send your brand assets and any wording that needs to be included.
No. You can start with photographs of the space and a description of the brief. If you already have a sketch, an interior design or a few references, include them: they help clarify the direction and the development still needed.
The portfolio includes Atlant and Atlant & Aqua Baby. Your wall, humidity, possible splashes and cleaning requirements need individual assessment. These conditions inform preparation and materials; the service covers walls and columns around the pool.
Feasibility and timing are discussed for the individual venue. Access, separation of the working area, protection of equipment and the time before training resumes need to be agreed. Arrangements depend on the technique, materials and wall location.
Preparation depends on the substrate and existing coating. Show cracks, peeling paint and signs of moisture beforehand. Timing depends on area, detail, preparation and access; outdoor work also takes weather conditions into account.
Care is discussed with the selected materials in mind. Mention regular washing, contact with sports equipment or proximity to water before the design is developed. Suitable cleaning methods and coatings are chosen for the particular surface.
07 / Your project
Tell me about your club or venue, the sport and your aims for the artwork. Attach photographs, dimensions, a logo and references if available. Include the location and preferred timing so we can begin discussing the design and budget.
We can start with one wall or an entrance area, then discuss several surfaces in a shared style. If you do not have a firm idea yet, describe the space and its visitors.
