The delicacy that talent can grant, as it happens in the world of Japanese animation, and the wisdom about a mastery of a particular artistic technique, you can give beautiful representations of the endless variety of living things that populate this planet.
The japanese artist Noriyuki Saitoh plays with that delicacy so that with his hand he can lead us to beautiful sculptures of insects made with a very peculiar material, bamboo. These very small sculptures are capable of inspiring us enough to leave us a little excited by Saitoh's great artistic ability.
The insect sculptures with many details and that each of them is capable of showing us what a dragonfly, a praying mantis or the same butterfly is. If one focuses on the details, one can find the great skill in the use of bamboo to be able to make all that gallery of images that leaves us speechless.
The intention of Saitoh and his team is represent exactly those insects in their same natural size. They reproduce the sculptures at the same size, although they let the proportion play more with art than with the reality of each of the butterflies that they show us in their repertoire of insects.
Take the exact measurements of each of the invertebrates that are able to draw with that material such as bamboo, to overlap so that we find some of the most recognized insects by all.
It even reaches be able to get confused to find those details that they give us back the feeling that we are facing a small work of art, instead of a real living being that would be able to fly away to our surprise.
You got saitoh from your own website, and on Facebook, so that you stay amazed by the attention to detail that this artist brings to his work.
