The Mural has become the symbol and the logo of the World Congress that takes place between two major international consortia of aviation, Lufhtansa and the International Air Transport Association (IATA).
The artist has nine years living in Berlin, and the mural was requested by Lufthansa with the goal of becoming a welcome icon from the German airline to the 500 large shareholders and CEO’s of the international aviation cargo companies that participated in the Congress.

The mural will be displayed later in Frankfurt, the place where the German company has its international headquarters, and they also had five thousand postcards made with the image of the mural in order to be distributed at all Lufhtansa Cargo offices worldwide.
IATA and Lufhtansa also featured Monroy’s work on the Congress business cards, which were placed in the 500 gifts delivered to the presidents and major shareholders of the consortia participants.
Monroy said in an interview with Notimex, that for her, the Mexican portion of the mural is in the contrast of colors, the joy, intensity and passion that characterizes the country as a culture. For her, hot pink and turquoise blue are colors that remind her of her origin, her land, the place where she grew up, and are elements that evoke the joy and zest for life.
This is not the first time Lufhtansa invites Bianca Monroy to work with them, as last year, the artist painted a picture that was used as a greetings card for the 125th anniversary of the Swiss Kühne & Nagel shipping freight consortium, Lufhtansa Cargo’s business partner.
The Mexican artist is also involved in other projects, such as the one carried out in Berlin’s district of Pankow, a project focused on the migration issue, which aims to help children and young refugees integrate in Germany, and whose logo was created by Monroy.
