The post Ant Hamlyn Creates Beautiful Art With Pressed Flowers appeared first on MobiSpirit.
]]>Inspired by this complexity, Hamlyn creates intriguing artworks that show the practice of pressing flowers in a different light. They feature inflated flowers, hand-sewn out of different materials, being pressed with a see-through acrylic plate.
It is a captivating sight, as the beauty and the liveliness of the flowers still shine through despite the fact that they are being “suffocated” by the weight of the acrylic plate.
“This idea of desperately trying to preserve and celebrate a moment in time is really interesting to me, particularly in our fast-paced world,” Hamlyn shared in a recent interview with Creative Boom. “As with a flower press, we take a memory and press it before it dies. Forcing it to preserve in time. This combination of memory, nostalgia, and time are fundamental concerns throughout this show and my wider work,”
Hamlyn, who received his MA degree in fine art at Chelsea College of Art, currently works out of his studio in South West London, UK. His works have been exhibited in art galleries and museums across the world, including the United States, the United Kingdom, South Korea, the United Arab Emirates, and more.

]]>This Tokyo, Japan-based artist manages to capture all sorts of wholesome moments onto a single leaf. Most of the time, Riane uses the leaves that fall from the tree as part of its life cycle, saving them from being crushed and allowing them to continue their existence as a piece of art.
According to Riane, her leaf art allows her to express “her unique sensibility and worldview” while focusing her creative efforts “on the beauty of people and nature, the activities of animals and children, and the sounds of children interacting.”
Riane studied drawing at Shinjuku Art Institute but ended up putting her art career on pause to work for a company based in a different field. However, that love for art never veined, and she ended up returning to it thanks to the encouragement of her kids.
After a while, Riane started sharing her works on Instagram and quickly amassed a significant following on social media. She also organized several exhibits of her leaf art in Tokyo and started offering classes for those who wanted to try out leaf art.

]]>Each of Kurihara’s works consists of a base with intriguing patterns and twists, resembling a fruit found in nature but featuring elements of creative freedom. From them, beautiful flowers and other parts emerge, adding another layer of complexity to each piece.
On her website, Kurihara says that plants and their growth provide her with an endless source of inspiration. Sometimes, she even grows plants in her studio, observing each stage to get a better insight into the process.
“I take inspiration from the plant world with particular attention to forms and their geometric repetition, “Kurihara says about her works. “Every element of nature seems to repeat itself, but in fact, there is an infinite variety of it. I have the deep desire to make concrete the fruits represented in my mind and to be able to contemplate them through my own eyes.”
Kurihara, who is currently working out of her studio in Paris, France, frequently shares her new ceramic pieces on social media. Scroll down to check out more of them.

]]>During the pandemic, Rachel Parri and Keith Kralik found themselves spending much time in their garden. They grew some beautiful flowers as a result and came to the idea to start pressing them and placing them in frames.
Being satisfied with the way their pressed flower artworks turned out, Parri and Kralik continued making more and sharing them on social media. They also started Flower Press Studio, through which people can purchase their works.
“Flower Press Studio allows us to get outside in the garden and get more involved with a local community of makers, florists, and flower farmers to express our authenticity using organic materials grown from our mother earth,” the couple shares on their website.
Flower Press Studio recently started expanding its business in order to offer people more ways to enjoy their pressed flower art. They are developing online courses in order to share their knowledge with others while also creating limited prints of the artworks. Continue scrolling to see more of them.

]]>Our recent design inspiration comes from California-based illustrator Leah Goren. Zooming in on domestic life, Goren’s illustrations feature a healthy dose of houseplants and natural patterns. Collaborations include brands and publications like Anthropologie, The New York Times, Penguin Random House, Vanity Fair, and Urban Outfitters.
On top of her work as an illustrator, Goren also works as a surface pattern designer, which means her floral patterns can be spotted on an array of products including fabrics, ceramics, and even storage bins.
“I like making patterns because they repeat endlessly and I don’t feel restricted to containing my drawing within a box,” Goren remarked once in an interview with Spoonflower. “I’m always interested in home interiors, and I’d love to see my patterns on wallpaper or an upholstered chair or couch.”
Indeed, scrolling through her feed you can’t help but be inspired to freshen up your living space by introducing more natural elements to it. One might argue that plants make any space look beautiful. But it’s good to note that they also have a positive impact on your health and mood—a true win-win when it comes to rethinking our home life in the days after COVID-19.

]]>The post Rachel Dein Makes Intricate Botanical Art in Concrete and Plaster appeared first on MobiSpirit.
]]>Dein’s unique artworks are made in the style of botanical bas relief. They are made through a laborious process that starts with pressing various flowers and plants into a clay surface. After the clay takes on the veins and texture of flora to the slightest details, the artist then makes a cast in concrete or plaster. The final outcome is an astonishing piece that captures the beauty found in nature.
Dein collects all the flowers, plants, and other vegetation by herself. She then adjusts her creative process to the things she finds. Some days it can be a single stem that caught her eye, while other times, it can be an entire field of various flowers, grasses, or leaves.
“It’s choosing specimens that look good and feeling in the right frame of mind when composing the pieces,” she explained in a recent interview.
Dein is selling her works on Etsy and frequently updates her Instagram page with new pieces. Check out more of them below.

]]>Maynard is a feather artist who recycles discarded bird feathers and turns them into intricate art. He started working with feathers when he was 12 years old and became an expert at what he does. His works are highly detailed, beautifully crafted, and impressive to look at.
Maynard uses his background in biology and ecology extensively in his work, whether it’s to get inspired for new designs or to choose the best feathers for a particular piece. Speaking about feathers, each one has been shed willingly by a bird before becoming part of his work. He gets them from private aviaries, zoos, and sometimes even regular bird owners.
“Feathers mark nature’s pinnacle of achievement: the intersection of function and beauty,” Maynard explains on his website.
Bird art created by Maynard is appreciated across the world by both art collectors and bird lovers. Check out more of it below.

]]>The Serbia-based couple decided to ditch the urban environment and instead moved to the countryside a while back. They changed their everyday life, believing that even small actions of an individual can make a difference. They ditched plastic, started growing their own food, and took other steps to minimize their impact on nature.
Jelena and Aleksandar also wanted to inspire others to consider the harm they were causing. But instead of turning to social critique, the couple adopted a different approach. They launched an ongoing series of hyper-realistic paintings of nature called “Life.” The artworks usually feature recreations of plants and grass that the two encounter during their hikes.
“We have found a way to bring nature to a home or gallery and hang it on the wall to serve as a reminder that we need to think more about how our modern lifestyle affects the environment,” the couple explains on their official website.
Their next step is to introduce their works to a broader audience through exhibitions in their native Serbia and abroad. Until then, check out more of their works below.

]]>British Columbia-native known only as Shadow laid the foundations for this admirable project 17 years ago. He started from scratch and used salvaged materials like wood, barrels, ropes, and plastic waste to build several floating structures that together form “Nowhere Island.” He did the majority of the work himself with his friends occasionally sparing a couple of extra hands and supplies.
The Nowhere Island is now an impressive construction that has its own solar panel power supply, garden, and even chickens. This allows Shadow to have all the amenities of modern life while being surrounded by nature.
According to Shadow, he rarely leaves the area and it can be sometimes more than six months between his trips to the civilization. He spends his time cleaning the river, taking care of nature, reading books, and running his YouTube channel.
“I want to live with nature and not damage anything,” he says about his lifestyle.
