As a rule, sculptors use solid and durable materials for their work, such as wood and stone, marble and granite, metal and plaster, wax and plastic. In exceptional cases, non-standard and atypical for such creativity parts from bicycles are used, the LEGO constructor, even the sculptors turn their own blood into unusual statues. In today's review - the same amazing and non-standard sculptures made by from vegetables and fruits by carving.
Watermelon sculptures
After pumpkin, watermelon is the second most popular fruit for carving. It is easy to work with it, it lends itself to carving without difficulty, and since it is also delicious, it is not surprising that masters of fruit carving often practice this art on watermelons.
Apple sculptures
Apple sculptures are also very common in our latitudes. Our apple harvest is almost always rich and varied, and therefore, beginner carving masters often practice on these fruits, decorating them with delightful flowers, petals, ornaments, or turning them into an impromptu map of the world.
Carved zucchini and eggplant
But with such vegetables as zucchini and eggplant it is not so interesting to work. They are not eaten raw, which means that in the process of work, the excess material will be inedible and go to waste. But the creative result is beyond praise. Soft yet strong, these vegetables hold their shape perfectly and allow themselves to be turned into both princess shoes and canvas for stylish ornament.
Pumpkin carving
Pumpkin carving is not only about scary Halloween faces, with candlelit eyes, bared teeth and a huge mouth. Depending on the author's imagination and purpose, the vegetable can be turned into a more peaceful and positive sculpture. For example, decorate it with a floral ornament, or an Egyptian-style bas-relief, or even turn it into an ethnic canoe boat.
Incredible sculptures of vegetables and fruits
And some masters who have achieved breathtaking success in carving for vegetables and fruits amaze the audience with their truly incredible food sculptures. They are able to turn the most common root vegetable, or no less common fruit, or a huge berry into a work of art worthy of Michelangelo himself.
Banana carving
But the most unusual carving is still banana carving. This fruit is too soft and spoils very quickly, therefore it is considered atypical and inconvenient for carving. But some enthusiasts still manage to turn the oblong, fleshy fruit into a work of art, such as a 23-year-old artist named Suu, who is the author of these funny banana sculptures.

Topographic food sculptures. Food topographic sculptures art project by Stephanie Herr
The inspiration of the German artist Stephanie Herr lies in the work of the compilers of topographic maps, in their volumetric creations, which can be called almost-sculptures, specific bas-reliefs.
