Croatian street artist Lonac recently designed a beating heart mural that possesses a life of its own.
Lonac utilized a stepped approach in the progress of his design as well as a stop motion video recording of each step. The anatomically correct mural now looks like an actual beating heart in the artist's posted animation of the design. Adding even more creativity to his project, Lonac also utilized the piping above his mural as arteries and painted them in steps so it appears as if blood is pumping through his masterpiece.
Lonac is showing no signs of slowing down his creativity and has announced that there are more projects coming along in addition to prints.
