    Unveiling the Majestic! Our latest collaboration with Puerto Rican artist Alexis Diaz has found its new home in Bentonville, Arkansas. Located in new private space of the growing city and standing at an impressive 42 feet, this stunning mural was meticulously crafted with millions of china ink brush strokes in just 3 weeks by Alexis and his team. A true statement piece! Curated by JUSTKIDS.ART courtesy of OZ Art NWA™ #artexperience #artconsulting #architectureandart #architectureanddesign
