This year marks the 20th year that Infiniti has existed and to celebrate they have commissioned an artist to create the above masterpiece. As you can see, the G37 coupe has been completely repainted in a style that shows mechanics and nature living together in harmony, a concept inspired by Cirque du Soleil. Or at least, that’s what I got from it, what about you?

The mastermind behind the painting is Canadian artist Heidi Taillefer whom was contracted by Infiniti for the work.
