Artist Mantra is most known for his depiction of preserved butterflies, which are brought to stunning 3-D life with the use of shadows and a keen eye for detail. Residents of France, Bogota, Spain and Austria have the opportunity to view these paintings up-close and in person. On the exterior of the building chosen for Mantra's latest masterpiece, breathtakingly realistic butterflies and other creatures soon will take form-dominating the modern urban landscape with a touch of nature's beauty. His paintings reside not only on the sides of buildings, but inside abandoned structures and other urban spaces that might otherwise have gone overlooked. Beautiful.
