An artist brings life to ordinary stones with the help of cute and perfect animal paintings
|
When most of us see a stone, we kick it aside as if it's not something special. But for an artist by the name of Aki, a stone is the perfect platform for her remarkable little artwork.
Creates magic out of stones
Aki has made a name for herself as 'The stone artist'. By using just color paint, she transforms ordinary stones into living animals with beautiful and precise details.
Aki Nakata's diversity is simply spectacular. Her stone animals include a cuddly koala, mother opossum with her pups, an owl, an old fox and a dog playing with a ball.
These stone animals are perfect miniatures
The faces of these animals are expressive and vivid. The brushwork is delicate and incredibly precise.
And what's more amazing, Aki says she never cuts or changes the shape of the stone. She just cleans them, lightly smoothes sharp edges, and draws on the natural shape of the stone.
Aki recently had an exhibition in Tokyo, where she said it was her childhood dream.
Yes, you can adopt one
Do you want one of the stones to be yours?
Aki accepts a lot of offers for buying her art, but she says she can't do custom work because she never knows what kind of stone she has to work with. Her Facebook page shows the stones that are "about to be adopted," as she calls it. You will need to talk to her directly about the price and shipping if you're interested.
Amazing, right?
Share Aki's amazing work if you too were impressed with the precision and small details and the fact that she manages to bring life to these stones.
