Art in leaves

We came across an amazing artist called Lorenzo Duran. He has developed our favourite art of paper cutting into a  whole new dimension.

He’s created beautiful masterpieces out of leaves!  Lorenzo would find a perfect leaf then wash, dry & press it gently. He would then carefully cut away to leave a unique & delicate piece of art.

It must take incredible patience as leaves can be so fragile and brittle when dry!  Just as he finished a piece that could have taken days to create it may just break!

Lorenzo has now moved on to develop new ‘Naturayarte’ projects & is no longer creating these amazing leaf creations but we just thought they were so inspirational that we wanted to blog about them! We’re looking forward to seeing what he develops next!
