In the world of street art, the lines between the real and the painted are getting thinner – and French artist Braga has proven it once again. A seemingly forgotten metal cistern, located by the roadside somewhere in nature, has become a real attraction thanks to his precision and creativity.
Braga used the 3D mural technique to paint a life-size sphinx cat – or at least that’s what it looks like. The perspective and shading are so convincing that passersby, and even dogs, stop for a moment, confused by what they see. The illusion is so strong that it seems as if the giant cat is stalking prey from the grass.
This work is not only aesthetically interesting, but also carries an important message – art does not need a gallery. Even the most ordinary, forgotten objects can become a canvas for ideas that change a space, cause a smile or at least make you take a second look.
Braga’s work has also attracted attention on social networks, where it is shared as an example of how talent and imagination can breathe new life into everything around us. This cistern is no longer just a container – it has become a symbol of boundless creativity.
