Art often imitates life, and that even includes reality television stars like the Kardashians.

A massive mural of Kim Kardashian's nude selfie, which she shared last week on Twitter and that has been the source of much online debate and shade, has apparently sprung up over the weekend on a wall in inner-city Melbourne, Australia.

The painting is on a wall in Gwynne Street in the suburb of Cremorne, and came to the attention of radio station 3AW after it upset a local worker.

As to the artistic genius behind the mural, it could possibly be local graffiti artist lushsux, who posted the image on their Instagram page. 

"Mark Walls," as lushsux identifies himself or herself, told Mashable Australia via email they instantly felt the need to paint the image when they saw it on Kardashian's Instagram. "In public, on a three story high building," Walls said. "Maybe I'm as much of an attention seeker as she is?"

According to Walls, painting the mural took about as long as it took Kardashian to get "300,000 comments" on her Instagram post. So, not long then?

"[It was] quite hard to turn an archived screenshot from my phone into a three story nude figure painting," Walls said.

All we can say is: Wow.
