We have already written about Elsa Mora as a girl who creates fragile and intricate works of art from paper. But it is not for nothing that they say that a talented person is talented in everything. Looking at Elsa's new works - collages of flower petals and leaves - it's hard to disagree with this statement.
Elsa Mora's flower men are so cute, sometimes even naive, that looking at them, it is difficult to refrain from smiling. They all have their own names, which makes them seem not faceless crafts, but little heroes of a good story with a good ending. Look at these Lolita, Francisca, Julianne - how can you not like them?
The idea of creating such a collection was "suggested" to Else by her four-year-old son Diego, who suffers from autism. The woman noticed that the child really likes to be in the garden: the boy tried to play with the plants, gently stroked the grass, looked at the flowers … This observation gave her an impetus for a new idea. Elsa plucked various flowers, blades of grass and leaves in the garden so that her son could play with them in the studio. And as a result, she herself connected to this game, creating funny little people. “I ended up with a huge smile on my face and the conviction that sometimes we really have to stop and be kids again, re-discovering the world around us.”
The idea of creating funny little people turned out to be so successful that later Elsa Mora published a book called "Blossom Buddies". It contains 133 vivid photographs of various amusing creatures made of flowers and other natural materials, as well as comments on them in English, German and French. As Elsa herself says, "the main purpose of the book is to make you smile." And she certainly did it.
