On Parnavaz Mepe Street in Batumi, like a page from a magic book, the mural “European Sturgeon” opens before the eyes of passers-by. An extraordinary Georgian artist is responsible for its creation, hiding his real name behind the bewitching pseudonym Dante Mdante. This master, collaborating with the NIKO project, left a trace of his talent in different parts of the world, surprising with his unique style, where hyperrealism is intertwined with surrealism, and the world of fantasy merges with reality.
The mural fascinates with its deep symbolism: the Atlantic sturgeon, as if a prisoner of time and human carelessness, found itself sandwiched between the pages of the Red Book. It is not just a colorful image, but also a profound call to look at those on the brink of extinction. And the choice of place for this work of art - a school building - is not accidental. After all, it is the younger generation who will take responsibility for the future of our planet, and Dante Mdante strives to awaken their consciousness through the greatness of art.
