Located in the airport’s arrivals area, the giant work of art brings Northern Ireland’s most iconic landmarks and attractions to life while promoting The Mortgage Shop who commissioned Danni to paint it.

Danni said: “When The Mortgage Shop contacted me to create a large mural inside Belfast City Airport, I thought it was a great opportunity to produce something colourful and bold, catching the eye as soon as you walk into the baggage area.

“Belfast is a vibrant city and I thought the mural should reflect that personality.

“It’s been really exciting to see the project from start to finish, and the transformation in the initial space to how it is now is amazing.”

In front of the mural is a large floor space for passengers to take photographs either upon their return home or at the start of their visit to Northern Ireland.

Danni continued: “When you get off the plane, this space is one of the first things you see and it’s a great way to welcome people to Belfast and Northern Ireland.”

Siobhan McAleer, Managing Director at The Mortgage Shop, which has 22 offices across Northern Ireland, added: “We wanted to do something eye-catching and unique, and this mural is the perfect blend of both.

“As one of Northern Ireland’s leading mortgage brokers, it was important for us to connect with the people of Belfast and beyond. Danni was able to bring our vision to life and we’re thrilled with the results.”
