In childhood, we all dried leaves or flowers, leaving them for some time between the pages of some book, which we do not mind. Here comes the Spanish artist Ignacio Canales Aracil continues to do this in adulthood. Moreover, he achieved such success in this business that he creates volumetric sculptures from dried leaves and flowers.
Dried flowers and leaves are a memory of warm, green days. Thus, we leave ourselves a small piece of summer, with which we need to be very careful so that it does not crumble, as our memories of this time of year fall apart by winter.
And Ignacio Canales Araquil, it turns out, creates whole patterns of similar memories. Moreover, he does it so well that his works can be called the most real art. And he does without having to chop or cut the leaves, as Christoph Niemann does when creating his designer leaves.
The technology for creating such unusual sculptures is very simple and accessible to everyone with a little practice. Ignacio Canales Araquil takes two identical hollow forms, covers one of them from the inside with leaves and flowers, and then inserts another form there. After a while, when the vegetation dries up, and sculptures are obtained, and in order for them to be more preserved and not crumble from the very first touch, the author covers these sculptures with varnish. This does not in any way affect the lightness, airiness of the structure, but it makes it stronger.
Moreover, Ignacio specially travels to different cities and countries in order to collect local vegetation and use it in his work. So, for example, Fragility of Time 1 and Fragility of Time 2 (fragility of time 1 and fragility of time 2) are created from leaves and flowers collected by him from all over the United States of America.

Fashion from nature. Clothes made of leaves, flowers and ears
In one of the tales of Gianni Rodari, an unusual world was described where everything around was edible. And not only edible, but also tasty: the watch chain is like raspberry ice cream, confetti is like mint candies, the bicycle seat is like eclairs with cream. Probably, it was from this fairy tale that the artist Ted Sebarese came up with the idea of edible outfits, which we already wrote about on the website Culturology.RF. But what about the fact that art is an eternal value, and food, whatever one may say, quickly ends
