L'Effet papillon, Street art mural in Montmartre, France
L'Effet papillon is a painted mural on a building wall in the 18th arrondissement of Paris. The composition features varied artistic techniques and colors applied directly to the exterior surface.
The mural was created in 2010 by the artist collective Mosko et associés. Its creation marked a period when Paris was increasingly accepting public artworks as part of its urban landscape.
The mural has become woven into the artistic identity of the neighborhood over the years. It shows how street art transformed from a form of underground expression into a recognized way that communities decorate and define their spaces.
The mural is located in Montmartre, an area that is easy to explore on foot. Visitors can walk through the neighborhood during daylight hours and discover other artworks scattered throughout the district.
The work draws inspiration from the butterfly effect concept, showing how small actions can lead to larger changes. This philosophical idea is expressed through visual elements that convey motion and transformation on the wall.
