Butterfly Specimen

Colorful wings, long shadows and subtle details, which suggest a transparent glass surface, just to create a suggestive level of depth designed to enforce the head-turning optical illusions. This is the street art by Mantra who love to transform multi-story buildings into gigantic butterfly specimen cases.

But not all of his butterflies are painted outside or as preserved specimens, and also he painted cats, birds, and reptiles, as well as other insects, such as moths, beetles, and a special spider, creeping out from a “crack” in the side of an apartment block. Mantra’s murals have appeared in Spain, Austria, Bogota and France, where he is based.
