Youri Cansell, also known as Mantra is a consummate artist and naturalist, and is internationally recognised for his large-scale murals of butterfly collections in his usual trompe-l'œil style. While equally adept at painting humans as well as animals, Mantra is especially fascinated by Entomology, the world of insects. Mining memories of his childhood garden in France, he now paints moths and butterflies on canvases and buildings all over the world.
