Institut Français du Cambodge
French Institute of Cambodia
This mural was created for the Library of the French Institute of Cambodia in the space dedicated to digital technology and video games. The goal of this project was to design a piece that visually and culturally connects Cambodia’s heritage with the vibrant world of video games, while transforming the area into a welcoming, playful, and immersive space.
At the heart of the mural stands Angkor Wat, Cambodia’s iconic temple, rendered in a bold, video-game-inspired graphic style against a golden sky. This cultural landmark is reimagined alongside beloved characters from the gaming universe. Mario, Princess Peach, and the legendary Angry Birds share the scene with a young Goku riding his magical cloud, embodying a joyful fusion of tradition and modernity.
The colorful and dynamic elements of the mural invite visitors to step into a world where the boundaries between local heritage and global pop culture dissolve, creating a space where learning and entertainment converge. This mural breathes new life into the area, transforming it into a hub of exploration and interaction for video game and digital technology enthusiasts.
Océane made a specific design upon our request at the Library of Institut français du Cambodge, she offered us the perfect balance between modern video games and traditional settings of Angkor Wat, which our users love ! From start to finish, her service has been brilliant, I would certainly use her expertise if needed for future projects and can recommend her work without hesitation.
