Pressed flowers. Just flowers. Spanish artist Ignacio Canales Aracil collects flowers from the private gardens of the most renowned landscape designers in Europe and then presses them into large molds. He gets no help from adhesives… just a month long drying process and the loving, miraculous touch of mother nature. When they’re complete he adds a spray of light varnish to protect them from moisture. So amazing… delicate and stunningly beautiful.

    These are lovely!
    I’m wondering, though, if it would be possible to give us the sizes of the artworks that you post for each artist? Thanks!
    Ren

    hi ren,
    artists don’t always list sizes, so i don’t always know. i also provide the link back to each artist’s site so that if you want more info than i’m giving you can just click through to read more about them.
