Colorado muralist Leo Tanguma pauses for a moment when he considers how his art hanging at DIA is received. He smiles. He’s heard all the conspiracy theories before. Some say his large-scale works hint at mass extinctions, new world totalitarian governments, the illuminati, even the origins of COVID-19.
None of it’s true, he said.
“It’s a humorous feeling that I have from those idiots, right? Because there’s nothing conspiratorial about my murals,” Tanguma said between painting sessions at a gallery at the University of Northern Colorado recently.
“Those people when they speak out suggest that there's numbers of them. But in fact, there's not that many numbers, it's just that these conspiratorial people maybe have nothing else to do.”
In September 1992, Tanguma was commissioned by a panel of artists, civic leaders and community members. His murals take on themes of war, peace, and the diversity of human life. One is a bright depiction of children dressed in traditional folk costumes from around the world, gathered around a fallen soldier. A second panel depicts a soldier carrying a sword and a gun while a group of refugees huddle around him. Another piece addresses the destruction of the environment. They usually hang in the main terminal, though they’re in storage temporarily during DIA’s Great Hall expansion.
Tanguma’s experience as a subject of rumors speaks to the unusual nature of the art at Denver’s airport: It doesn’t shy away from controversy, and to some people, it’s downright weird. But the airport wants more of it. And they want a Coloradan to be the first to have their work built and showcased in new spaces being created by a gate expansion that’s underway.
For Tanguma, himself a decades-long resident of Colorado, being chosen to display his work at DIA was a great honor. With millions of people passing through the airport’s halls, he gets a massive stage to share his passions for Mexican American culture and the struggle for equality for all people.
“There were times I couldn’t believe my good luck, right? Because I know Denver has some wonderful artists — some incredible artists — and to be selected from those groups is a real honor to me,” he said.
More money is coming. That means more art.
Before DIA was built, city officials decided that 1 percent of the total cost of every big construction project in Denver would be set aside for public art. The airport initially cost about $3 billion dollars, which meant significant resources for an art fund. Additional improvement projects at DIA added money, and the airport now boasts 38 pieces in its collection.
DIA is again undergoing expansion. Thirty-nine new airplane gates are being built at a cost of about $1.5 billion. Because of the 1 percent for art rule, the growth means there will be a lot more money for new art.
Whoever is chosen to display their work at DIA will have some big hooves to fill. Mustang, known by nearly all who see it as Blucifer, is DIA’s most infamous piece of public art. It’s been the subject of countless social media posts, tattoos, pieces of fan art, even songs.
It has its share of controversy. It killed its creator, Luis Jiménez. And despite assurances from airport officials, rumors spring up every few years that Blucifer will be taken down.
Heather Kaufman, DIA’s director of arts and public events, said, “It’s been a rumor ever since it was installed — from a group a long time ago.” But she said Blucifer is here to stay.
'I’m all for the weird stuff'
To the people in charge at the airport, “weird” is sort of the point, whether it’s Blucifer or works by other artists like Tanguma.
“I think the quirkier the better,” Kaufman said. “I think if it's unique, we love our conspiracy theories around the art or the airport in general. It's an opportunity that we get to educate and have educational tools around the conspiracy theories. And it creates that conversation around our art and it's what we're known for.”
Jesse Yanez recently made his way through the airport from Odessa, Texas, and found himself standing near a grinning gargoyle near the Southwest Airlines baggage claim.
“I’m all for the weird stuff,” said Yanez, in town to watch a Broncos game. “I think it actually encourages people to do some research and read. Otherwise, most people wouldn’t even read, if it wasn’t something that piqued their interest.”
Not all of the art at DIA is strange or controversial. Michael Hart stopped with his son to admire a mural in the main terminal called “America, Why I love Her.” The mural acts as a postcard from places all over the United States. It was inspired by road trips the artist took with his family.
Hart Van Denburg/CPR News"America ... Why I Love Her," a mural by Gary Sweeney in the Jeppesen Terminal on Level 5
For Hart and his 8-year-old son, who return to the mural each time they travel through DIA, it reminds them of where they’ve been and where they’re going.
“As we get done here, we’ll go through the different places that he’s been,” said Hart, who lives in San Mateo, California, looking over at his son. “We’ll go through all the different cities that he’s been, and he remembers some of it, and he won’t remember some of it.”
Coloradans will be central to the new art at DIA
The people who are deciding what artists will get to display pieces in the new wings are in the thick of their work. A panel made of community members, artists and civic leaders has whittled down an initial pack of 92 applications from artists to just five. There will be several new works, when all is said and done, much of it suspended from ceilings in the new concourses.
It’s likely the new works will come from artists all over the world, though the panel has decided that a Colorado-based artist will be the first to have their work built and shown.
Airport officials hope travelers will be able to see that first art addition, set for the B Concourse, some time in 2023 or 2024.
That a Coloradan will be the first to be chosen to build and show their art in the new additions at DIA is important, Kaufman said.
“I really think our art is reflective of our historical building of Colorado, the uniqueness to Denver,” she said. “And this should follow suit for sure.”
For Tanguma, himself an Arvada resident, the chance for Coloradans to make work that millions of people from all over the world see each year is life-changing.
“It’s a feeling of fulfillment. So people traveling from there can see themselves portrayed in some way and I am sure they appreciate what they’re seeing,” he said. “They’re seeing themselves reflected in the murals. And so that’s what I’ve been trying to do all my life.”

Have you heard the one about the lizard people at Denver International Airport? What about the aliens? But why is there post-apocalyptic artwork in the terminal? And the blue horse? What does it all mean?? As the largest airline at @DenversAirport, we're privy to some of the airport's biggest secrets and conspiracies...and this Halloween, we’re sharing them with you.

The 2012 Olympic opening ceremony was pretty spooky pre-programming, but this guy dipped a bit further back and found 1992 Barcelona Olympic opening ceremony and it’s even weirder, if that’s possible. What looks like a spikey virus made of dead people attacking a boat on a sea of white cells….then what looks like a black hydra comes into play.

Interesting, nonetheless.

It does seem that it is all about hiding "the light"/the truth. Gee, join the Masons and help us hide the light. I suppose I am just getting weary of that idea. They seem to get such a kick out being master hiders of truth. Well, let us hope we might be as "Wise as serpents but gentle as doves".

I went to examine the murals again in light of pride month and all the crazy stuff concerning gender roles.
This is one of the infamous murals posted in Session 1 November 1997:
Looking at all the colors and the rainbow, there may be a connection to what is going on now. The pride flag is shown everywhere around the world as a sort of rallying symbol for many on the left. What's interesting is that they call many on the right "Nazis", when they themselves are act more like actual Nazis than not. Perhaps when they project the term out of themselves and onto others, they introduce a sort of blind spot. Since the other side is so different to them, and are in their minds, Nazis, the thought that they would ever be Nazis never reaches their conscious mind.
So, going back to the mural, we have rainbow colors and what looks like a fallen soldier dressed in Nazi-esque clothes! If it's indeed phasic, then these may be portends—a signal that the nefarious plans alluded by the murals are creeping into motion now.
Due to pride month (or should I say pride-month?), the Denver Airport of course replaced its original profile picture with a rainbow icon:
Now the following mural is situated to the right of the previous one, and is connected to each other by various symbols—the main one being the rainbow.
If we were to trace the rainbow's path, it fades into a whisp-like white leading to a crying boy:
In one interpretation, the connection to the boy may seem to be that the previous mural is a memory of the past, and that this mural is what's being planned afterwards. It could be that at the time, going along with the LGBTQAI+ agenda seemed like a good idea. However, due to lack of awareness and knowledge, they unwittingly played roles for the psychopathic control system—to weaken families and individuals, disarm nations, collapse economies in the name of defense against what they perceived as evil, and other entropic stuff.
As a result of this weakening, it leaves nations open for conquest. Probably via blitzing unwitting people and moving like a thief in the night. People perhaps may be left feeling bamboozled that the movement, as it stands, was a ruse!
The rainbow becoming much more wispy, thin, and small as it reaches the boy seems to mean that the connection to that once "happy" time no longer holds true when faced with what it led to, a shocking reality.
In the bottom right of the mural, there is a paper that says:
Maybe it portends to this future "trial run" as mentioned in Session 22 July 2000?
If any of this is true, then I feel like the following excerpt is important, if we are going to make it and save others (while learning and having fun)!
There are still many factors at play, and the future is of course open!
This is one of the infamous murals posted in Session 1 November 1997:
Q: (Ark) Is any one of these photographs, or any one element, more significant than the others? Anything we ought to pay more attention?
A: All are equally important. But, pay attention to the tiny details. You will see that the discovery process is neverending.
Q: (T) I searched the web to see if there was any way to order sets of pictures of these murals and there just isn't anything. (L) Yes, Chloe said that there was nothing in the gift shops there either. (T) I asked her and she said that she did not actually go in the gift shops because she doesn't do tourist things. (L) Okay, what is this picture? (Holds up photo.)
A: This is a pictorial representation of an essence of a concept.
Q: Essence of the concept of what?
A: Overt control.
Q: So, does this mean that overt control is NOT going to be used, since this huge ugly figure is lying there seemingly dead?
A: Phasic.
Q: It will be in phases. (T) Is Alex Christopher's general idea of the meanings of these paintings correct?
A: Close.
Q: (T) Is my take on what she said close?
A: Yes.
Q: (T) So this overcoming of evil is just one of the phases...
A: You should learn what you can, discreetly, about masonic principles.

Dear moderators, not sure where to put it. But ‘prophetic’ murals flashbacked me with Denver airport.
Please feel free to move it where more appropriate.
If the dating of these ones is precise, they are older then Denver’s one.

Interesting what PTB planned and stated long before today’s events. We see comet, black sun, pyramid, woman ‘ascending’ through ‘frequency fence’ (?), masks, burying banking QE and Z symbol (smo campaign?) etc...

Фрески Банка США представляют собой пророческое предсказание будущего, которое разворачивается по строго заданному плану
Важно отметить, что эти фрески были созданы в 1992 году, что делает их первопроходцами в публичном отображении скрытых планов.
