In honor of International Nelson Mandela day on Sunday, street artist David Flores will unveil a new mural in Venice paying tribute to Nelson Mandela.

Flores began painting the mural on Thursday and plans to officially unveil it to the public on Sunday during a reception at the Venice Love Shack on Lincoln Boulevard.

"The overarching objective of Mandela Day is to inspire individuals to take action to help change the world for the better, and in doing so build a global movement for good," organizers said. "Ultimately, it seeks to empower communities everywhere."

Flores will be on site painting the mural Thursday and Friday at  Studio 1-On-1 located at 2469 Lincoln Boulevard, Venice.

Sunday's reception will be held at the Love Shack from 4-8 p.m.
