We live in a time when technology surrounds us from all sides. Speaking of global environmental problems, it is now customary to oppose technology and nature to each other, but has anyone thought about what would happen if they were mixed together? The Parisian artist Ludo tried to find an answer to this question in his street art.
The 30-year-old artist lives in Paris and works mainly there, although his drawings sometimes appear on the streets of London and New York. “The series of works, called 'Nature's Revenge', is a kind of link between the world of plants and animals and the world of technology,” explains Ludo.
The artist's images are indeed some kind of hybrids between nature and technology. For example, in one of the works, the stamens of a huge hibiscus are transformed into radio transmitters. In another image, the sunflowers look more like turbines than flowers.
The author gives each of his works its own name. “I love to do it like a scientist who has made a new discovery,” says the artist. - I name my drawings, mixing different terms with each other. I find names anywhere, even in song lyrics or newspaper notes."
Ludo's images are not just graffiti. Although the author himself finds it difficult to define his own style, he is inclined to believe that graffiti is painting on the walls of buildings, and street art is drawing images on the walls using other techniques. The artist himself in his work mixes various techniques - painting with acrylic paints, silk-screening, cutting and even photocopying.

Dialogue between the artist and nature. Vegetable street art by Pablo S. Herrero
At home, as well as in a number of foreign countries, the Spanish artist Pablo S. Herrero is known for his "vegetal" graffiti, unusual street art on the walls of abandoned buildings. Talking about his work, he claims that he seeks to revive and restore the dialogue between man and nature, which, with varying degrees of success, has been going on for many centuries in a row. And all those trees and branches that adorn the dilapidated brick walls are nothing more than an imitation of nature, which
ROA street art: back to nature
In those places where our cities now stand, there were once endless steppes, meadows or forests. Or maybe full-flowing rivers or small streams flowed here. And, of course, there was a limitless kingdom of animals and birds. Few people think about it these days - and that's why the works of the Belgian street artist ROA carry so much power. Appearing in ruined and deserted parts of the city, where people try not to look, ROA drawings remind us that those creatures that long ago
Nature Preserve: a series of exclusive jewelery gifts from nature itself
Nature is not only the most talented artist, designer and sculptor, but also the best ideological inspiration for a creative person. It is not without reason that many painters prefer plein air to work in a studio or workshop, and in search of a muse they go to a park, forest or the nearest square within the city. Israeli designer Gur Kimel is familiar with such a muse. After all, it was she who gave him inspiration to develop an amazing collection of natural jewelry Nature Preserve, where everyone is
