This Amsterdam-Based Artist Turns Flowers, Insects, Bones, And Anatomy Into Surreal Sculptures (33 Pics)
Years ago, Amsterdam-based artist Cedric Laquieze first captivated Bored Panda readers with his now-iconic Fairies series: delicate, eerie sculptures assembled from ethically sourced insects, plants, bones, flowers, and natural materials that looked as though they had escaped directly from some forgotten mythological world.
But over the years, Laquieze’s creative world has expanded far beyond fairies alone. His growing body of work now includes elaborate floral skeletons, mythological busts, anatomical sculptures, surreal thrones, birds inspired by haute couture fashion, and experimental sculptural series exploring psychology, symbolism, mortality, and the architecture of organic forms. Whether working with silk flowers, taxidermy, bones, insects, marble-inspired forms, or unexpected found objects, Laquieze approaches sculpture almost like world-building, constructing creatures and artifacts that feel as though they belong to an entirely different civilization.

As it said "natural materials" I was thinking "petals and leaves", not "m******d butterflies". These are alive already beautiful (and rare), why k**l them to make them a puppet?
Your work is stunning. My question do you purchase these creatures Butterflies, birds etc already d**d? I raise butterflies due to the population decline I would hate to think the butterflies I raised to continue the species are found in the wild and k****d for art. I'm not trolling or starting anything it is an honest question from someone who works extremely hard at raising butterflies and I love every minute of it. By
My guess is that he just finds them already d**d
