]]>Suzuki’s works are usually inspired by the flora he encounters in and around his hometown of Kyoto, Japan. He crafts metal dandelions and Japanese maple tree blossoms, but also twigs and all sorts of leaves.
The type of flora might be different, but one thing that is common to all of Suzuki’s creations is his dedication to details. He not only gets the shapes and colors right but also all the small imperfections and features that only nature can come up with.
“I don’t want to create works in which time stands still,” the artist explains. “I want to express a moment in time.”
Recently, Suzuki has taken one step further in his pursuit of realism. He started adding other elements to his works, like raindrops and bugs to make them even more life-like.
Unfortunately, the opportunities to see Suzuki’s works in person are rare unless you go to Japan. However, he does share most of his metal flowers on social media. Check out more below.

]]>Born in 1979 and having graduated in 2007 from the Utrecht school of The Art (NL), with a degree in 3D Product Design, Donkelaar had a passion for all things nature from an early age.
Her creative process begins with secondhand books and walks in the forest, meadows, and flower markets of Utrecht. “I don’t start with an idea in my head or a sketch on paper,” she admitted in an interview with Flower Magazine. “I follow the flowers and the colors I’m working with.”
Her finds, and therefore, her materials, might include a damaged butterfly, a broken twig, a bumblebee, and some strangely grown weeds. The pieces themselves lead her work, inspiring her compositions and themes. By protecting her finds under glass, Donkelaar hopes to inspire other people to make up their own stories about them, rather than dictating her message herself.
“I love a flower with really long legs,” she notes. “It makes it more elegant somehow, almost as if it’s flying. I strip away all the leaves and let the flower stand out, stand tall.” Under her hands, weeds become poetry, nature seems to float mid-air, and a discarded twig finds new meaning.

]]>Ahpornsiri is based in East Sussex, and she was drawing a Fern Weevil when she came up with the idea to use real fern in this process. This was the beginning of an amazing creative adventure, and she’s been pressing plants and flowers and composing them together ever since.
Her illustrations consist of real flowers, petals, stems, and leaves, and it takes one to six weeks to press them until they’re ready to use. Ahpornsiri uses no paints and dyes along the way, so it’s important to preserve the natural colors of the flowers during the pressing process.
The British artist enjoys giving these plants a new life through her illustrations, which show everything from honey bees and moths to birds and rabbits. Many of them can be found on her Instagram, but she’s also the author of several books, including Drawn from Nature and A Year in the Wild.

]]>The post Flora Forager Transforms Flowers into Botanical Works of Art appeared first on 5dwallpaper.com.
]]>This project is a brainchild of Seattle-based nature lover Bridget Beth Collins, who describes it as a product of her love affair with glittering nature, and her own artistic skills honed over the years.
Collins enjoys exploring the wildflower woodlands, and she finds most of the flowers used in her works of art during her adventures. She plucks them from meadows, woods, and sidewalks, and even has a small garden where she grows her own.
Flora Forager attracted over 200,000 Instagram followers, and it’s pretty easy to see what draws them to this page. It’s difficult to find another artist who arranges leaves and petals with as much love and attention to detail as Collins, and each of her works of art will make you fall in love with flowers all over again.

]]>“Moving to Switzerland in 2010 rekindled my admiration for the beauty and complexity of the natural world, which I first discovered as a child by wandering the woodlands and prairies of my native Minnesota,” wrote Buck on her website.
She soon devised a plan: to preserve this natural beauty by launching an online herbarium. This herbarium – a collection of preserved plant specimens – would be shared through her blog and Instagram page. And so the freshly pressed project was born.
Now, years later, and having moved back to Minnesota, her herbarium spans both Switzerland and the US. “In 2019 I brought the freshly pressed project back with me to Minnesota, where I continue to collect, press, and add to my herbarium collection,” she explained. “It has been an adventure in rediscovering the species from my childhood, which I now view with a new appreciation.”
It is an adventure you too can appreciate by following her social media pages.

]]>Ukrainian painter, Anna Lvova, specializes in painting with watercolors. According to her, she started out at the age of twelve and has been through different art training institutions.
Lvova recently started paintings of flowers, some of which are displayed below. From the videos, you can see how she paints with two colors simultaneously. Both colors are added to the brush and then applied onto the canvas. Her patterns are quite similar but the results are always unique.
What do you think about her work? Impressive right? See the videos in the gallery below.
