Artist Meticulously Hand-Carves Into Leaves
A Japanese artist known as lito_leafart on Instagram brings leaf art to a whole new level with his unbe-leaf-ably intricate designs.
He meticulously carves out entire
scenes onto the delicate, green surfaces.

From critters at the supermarket to a family of penguins atop of a turtle, lito_leafart’s cute creations are not only impressively hand-cut, but also incredibly imaginative.
Each leaf design tells its own story, like a whimsical children’s book illustration that can be held in the palm of your hand.
The artist holds each of his leaves to the sky before photographing it, allowing the sunlight to reveal the many tiny details.
Although each leaf will eventually wilt away, lito_leafart’s portfolio continues to grow. The talented artist—who has ADHD—makes one piece of leaf art per day, as a way to focus and calm down. Each leaf showcases his incredible patience and artistic ability.
Check out lito_leafart’s leaves below and follow him on Instagram to see even more.
Thank you to Mitzi Winks for the reference!
Dear friend and artist, Elenor from Austria recently went on a trip to Meran, Austria, "a lovely town in South Tyrol. It is a wonderful place surrounded by high
mountains and a mild climate with a Mediterranes Flora." They went to a Joshua Bell concert, and shared photos for me to share too.

Super job on this piece. I looked at it for a long time. There appears to e some folds in the substrate. I see some pointed parts above the head as if the face is from the Statue of Liberty. I really like this…you know me and red. :-)
More pics to come, Jacki!
Thanks for sharing my poor pics. I feel so honored.
This leaf artist is amazing...a part of me is very sad that these are all eventually breaking down =(
