"It's a real proposal! A painted Daniel Levine asks Cristina Cordova's hand in marriage," she wrote.

Meade's work involves painting real life subjects to make them appear like part of a 2-D illustration.

The video shows the couple covered in black and white paint to create the illusion that they are painted 2-D images on a wall with the message "new mural soon" written on it.

Meade can be heard instructing Cordova to stand as Levine remained on one knee to deliver the surprise proposal.

Cordova then exclaims in disbelief before the two share an embrace.
