Birds, Butterflies & Animal 3D Mural Art
Bring your walls to life with handcrafted 3D relief art. From majestic peacocks to delicate butterflies, we sculpt nature-inspired themes that add texture and movement to any room.
This video shows the process of painting a 3D embossed peacock. We start with the white sculpture and slowly add layers of color to bring it to life.
Work in progress on a large, double-height wall featuring two peacocks. This video shows the initial sculpting phase, where we build the basic forms.

More progress on the 3D peacock mural. The texture of the feathers is starting to take shape, creating a realistic and detailed look.
A completed peacock mural on a staircase wall. This is a simpler, more minimalist take on the theme, combining 3D embossing with a painted background.
A flight of 3D butterflies we created for a client in Bangalore. Each butterfly is individually sculpted and painted, then arranged on the wall to create a sense of movement.

About Birds, Butterflies & Animal Themes
When we build these bird or animal murals, we start by sketching directly on your wall—no stencils or prints. We use cement compounds to create a 4-8mm raised relief, so you can actually feel the texture of the feathers or wings. It is a slow, manual process, but it results in a permanent piece of art that belongs uniquely to your home.
Nature themes like peacocks, horses, and butterflies are popular, but the way we handle them is what makes them different. We do not just paint flat images; we create depth.
The 3D Sculpting Process
Because our murals are built with cement compounds, they require a specific curing process. After we sketch the outline, we apply the mixture in layers, manually sculpting details like individual feather strands or leaf veins. We require a 1-2 day passive drying time to ensure the relief mixture is stable before we begin the final painting.
Why No Wallpaper?
Wallpaper often peels at the edges in humid Indian climates, especially on staircase walls or near windows. Our work is bonded directly to the surface of your wall. We finish every project with a clear, water-resistant coat. This makes the surface wipeable and ensures the texture stays sharp for years.
Customization
We can adapt these animal themes to your specific space. If you have a double-height wall, we can scale the birds for a grander look. For smaller niches or bedroom walls, we keep the work more subtle. We also mix media—painting a forest background and sculpting the birds over it so they appear to fly out of the wall. We travel across India to execute these projects, provided we have adequate wall space and time to let the art cure properly.
