A creative person differs from "ordinary" people in that he is able to see the unusual in the ordinary. Often he looks at the world from his own, special angle, and thanks to these abilities, he gives the world wonderful works of art that you can admire almost endlessly. And suddenly it turns out that from quite ordinary objects, such as colorful blocks of paper for notes, empty cans, colorful zippers, and other things that we use in everyday life, we can create very original sculpture-installations.
The master for such installations is a Swedish artist Jacob Dahlgrenliving in Stockholm. It doesn't need expensive granite or marble to work. You don't even need glass, plastic, clay or ceramics. It is enough to find … well, at least something, but in sufficient quantity. And this "something" in skillful hands turns into "something" as if by magic.
So, among the most famous works of Jacob, you can find such abstractions as a whole wall-game club, paved with a huge number of dart fields, artistically studded with multi-colored darts. There is also an incomprehensible construction of cans for canned food, as well as a zebra-style panel, for the manufacture of which the author needed several dozen black-and-white clothes hangers.
And out of competition - a model of a huge metropolis with skyscrapers, spiers of towers and churches, large and small buildings, folded from multi-colored "cubes" -blocks of notes for notes, which can easily be found in any stationery store. Perhaps this is all that belongs to the unusual installations of the author. The rest of his works are waiting for fans at exhibitions, or Jacob Dahlgren's personal website - jacobdahlgren.com

The sculptor creates detailed sculptures in the style of Bosch, which are impossible to forget
Someone else's soul is darkness, and human nature is fickle, ambivalent and vicious.

The sculptor-archaeologist creates the most accurate portraits of people who lived several thousand years ago
We see how the Neanderthals, ancient Greeks, Vikings and our other distant ancestors looked like in the movies or in pictures, but this is just a stylization.

Nilsson creates realistic reconstructions of ancient people based on real artifacts, and it's just amazing
