Instagramさんのインスタグラム写真 - (InstagramInstagram)「Mantra’s (@mantrarea) exquisite trompe l’oeil murals may deceive the eye, but the truth is that they’re informed by local entomologists across the 20 countries and four continents where he’s worked.⁣ ⁣ “Nature always mesmerized me. Not only sharing delicate forms, colors, details, but also introducing great mysteries. My paintings sit as a mirror highlighting this reality, and I’m forcing myself to translate those instants as pure as I witness them,” says the French painter.⁣ ⁣ The street artist’s hyper-realistic (and scientifically accurate) works — including many of butterflies in specimen cases — are painted on multi-story urban facades, totally freehand without using a projector or a grid, as a reflection of the role these fragile species play in the world’s biodiversity.⁣ ⁣ “My intention is to find an answer that can respectfully bring harmony in the place I’m painting. Each mural is the result of an endless quest for balance, and playing with perspective creates an interesting dialog with the architectural landscape. I’m trying to create not only a realistic and vivid mood, but also a poetic and romantic one.”⁣ ⁣ #ThisWeekOnInstagram⁣ ⁣ Art by @mantrarea photographed by @ogcaballero」11月18日 2時03分
