This is an actual leaf! Occasionally we stumble across a fascinating artists we want to share with you. It wasn't until the age of 35 that Lorenzo Duran from Cáceres, Spain began to work his precision leaf art, after watching a catepillar eating a leaf.
"Failing to find information about the 'leaf cutting art' that I meant to do, I developed my own technique for doing it, which went through a long trial-and-error process, until I found a good way of cutting my designs so that they could be framed and preserved for several years, as any other work of art."
His painstaking work begins with the use of a surgical scalpel and dental device to remove elements from a leaf without damaging the leaf itself.
