Flowers Mix With A Skillful Photographer’s Eye To Make Breathtaking Sculptures

12

Raku Inoue is a photographer, artist, and sculptor who creates stunningly realistic animal sculptures out of flower petals and other natural materials.

His works are so lifelike that people often mistake them for the real thing—and no wonder! He’s taken inspiration from his own garden to create these amazing works, which are sure to make you feel like you’re in the wilds of Africa or Asia.

Inoue recommends starting with a simple form. For example, he used the petals from water lilies to make the eye of an owl. He has created his own language for the business of art, which involves “sculptures” that are made from flowers and other natural materials.

Inoue has been working on his latest series, “Natura Safari,” which is inspired by the animals he sees in his daily life. Inoue began taking photographs of his works in his garden and posting them online; now people send him flowers from all over the world!

    Hi! I'm Deepak, and I'm a content writer from India. I love writing about artists and their work—in fact, it's kind of my life goal to explore the profiles of as many artists as possible. I love to explore the profile of artists, learning about their pasts, their influences, and everything else that makes them unique.

    Hey there, Pandas! My name is Diana (though some people call me Diane, Deanna, or even Liana sometimes), and I am an Artist Ventures Lead at Bored Panda. In my role, I work closely with artists and creators from all over the world, helping bring their work to a wider audience and highlighting the incredible things people create. A big part of what I do is connecting talented artists with the platform and making sure their projects, stories, and visuals get the recognition they deserve. Outside of work, you can usually find me brewing a nice cup of coffee, making pizza from scratch, or baking brownies. I also love traveling, going to concerts, and spending time with my cats (heavy on that one, because I’m definitely a cat mom).
