yourself aren't you making a wall clock out of don't know pieces. like commenee all the artists do it on started off a painting oil on canvas but off the while he decided to try a new things he started working with leafs getting them straight from the trees the spanish artist collects impressive them and then the creative work begins he cuts some of the patterns into the leaves he invented this special technique in two thousand and five and well guess who his news was back then a couple up. there's so much to discover in a single tiny leaf. these filigree most to pieces were handmade by spanish artist lorenza muddleheaded and. he cut them into leaves harvested from

trees and bushes. one. with one. when i go into the forest more than anything it's just that i'm looking for peace and quiet. this is where my creativity really gets flowing doesn't move you in again which will give. every kid in spring so money where do it and go searching through the forests of his home province guadalajara for just the right. technical draftsmen by trade he lives with his family in a village about seventy five kilometers north east of madrid. their house doubles as a gallery for his art a central theme is nature and people's bond with it. is especially drawn to working with the materials nature provides him.

perfect access to the perfect leaf doesn't exist certainly meant the leaves grow in nature they've undergone a process of evolution. but it's precisely their imperfection that in my view that makes them perfect perfect. perfect. means works give little hint of the time effort and dedication that's gone into them. their own presses the fresh leaves and lets them drive for a few days. the leaves have to be drying. that cuts don't smear or discolor and yet most enough not to crumble. the image stencil is attached to the leaf with fixative then he carefully works his way around with a scalpel cut by cut. committed war. i was inspired when i watched a caterpillar getting its way through a leaf. yeah but i gave me the idea to cut my own designs into leaves.

over time i learned more and more and developed my own technique meeting. depending on the design it can take lorenzo did on several days to finish the cussing he enjoys the almost minutes to work. thirteen years ago to run still worked in construction when he lost his job it hit him hard but then he discovered his artistic bent. he started out painting in oils and lace he began his leave carvings. for him his has been a journey of self-expression. is assume one side of belief is turned to the light. on the other stays in shape you

know they're not there's a similarity there to us humans no one side of us is visible the other is not. a hard thing when i work on a leaf i'm in touch with a side of me that isn't as aloof i suppose you could call it the subconscious mind . quite a few things became clear to me and my talent which i'd never recognized before came to light. today that ends i'm unaware didn't makes a living as an artist. his works up published in design blogs international press magazines and books. his words are also in demand with companies for green media campaigns leaves cleanse the air of carbon dioxide and produce oxygen making them an ideal symbol for a healthy environment put it on sustainability and green ethics are very important .

i want to express is the human being's original bond with nature. today we've lost this sense of connection. only if we humans manage to see ourselves as a part of nature that we can learn to respect our environment again. if they carefully preserved his outputs can survive ten years or more it's like nature itself they to transfer train fortunately lorenzo money keeps turning out anyway. and now it's getting really roil that a lot more in today's express all round up of cultural events in europe. it's official prince william will be best man at his brother prince harry's wedding it's a busy spring for the windsors on monday prince william and duchess catherine welcomed
