Who among us in childhood did not sculpt balls of bread? Harmless fun usually causes a storm of indignation among parents, but the kids stubbornly try themselves in the role of sculptors. It looks like a childish prank at the Polish artist Milena Korolczuk (Milena Korolczuk) over time, it grew into a completely conscious hobby. While most people on the planet calmly eat sandwiches, she turns slices of bread into the "heads" of celebrities.
We regularly write about the "bread" art on the site Kulturologiya. Ru. It is worth remembering the edible furniture from designer Enoc Armengol, the bread table from Andere Monjo and the whole bread city from Johanna Martensson. Unlike these designers, Milena Korolchuk makes not household items from bread, but quite recognizable sculptures. Among the greats captured in bread are pop idols, artists, writers, historical figures … Plato, Lenin, Warhol, Jay-Z and others.
The talented artist Milena Korolchuk now lives in Oakland, USA. He creates exclusively from white bread, rolls up tiny (literally and figuratively) balls, which he gives the desired shape. Hairstyle, eyes, nose, ears - all the details of the portrait are "drawn" with extraordinary precision, despite the diminutiveness of the sculptures. In order to emphasize the tiny size of her creations, as well as to confirm what material they are made of, the craftswoman photographs them against the background of the remaining crusts of bread.
By the way, among the works of the artist you can find not only portraits of celebrities, another sculptural composition looks very funny - bread Stonehenge. It may seem to you that this is just a handful of crumbs, but you should take a closer look, and a clear resemblance to a mysterious stone structure will immediately be found!

"Everything flows, everything changes". Ephemeral beauty in the work of Nicole Dextras
Artist Nicole Dextras is very fond of working with clothes, but she does it in very unusual ways. For example, her work is highly dependent on the time of year and the weather outside. If it's summer, then Nicole goes to the garden, where she picks up weeds and turns them into beautiful dresses. If it is winter outside, the artist takes ready-made clothes and … freezes them in blocks of ice. It's worth seeing, isn't it?
