Two geniuses of the cutting out: Elsa Mora and Lorenzo Duran

EnglishDuring my research on the web I came across these two artists and… WoW.

No words to describe their creations, simply brilliant.  Both for the ability of cutting all these detailed shapes on these materials – respectively paper and dry leaves – and for the originality of the designs they create.

The art you are seeing is by Elsa Mora, currently based in Los Angeles, California and originally from Cuba.

I must say that I spent lot of time surfing around her blog amazed by her wonderful talent and fantasy, and I suggest you all to also read her About me page, a fascinating story (with funny drawings) that touched my heart.

You can find Elsa also on Flickr, Facebook, Twitter and Etsy.

Below you can admire some works by Lorenzo Duran from Guadalajara, España. We could define them “leaf cutting” works.

The first time I saw them (via Anna Denise of “The Yellow Umbrella“) I thought “Oh my gosh!”.
I couldn’t believe someone would be able to do so precise and small notches in a leaf!

DUE GENI DELL’INTAGLIO: ELSA MORA E LORENZO DURAN

Facendo le mie ricerche nel web mi sono imbattuta in questi due artisti e… WoW.

Non ci sono parole per descrivere le loro creazioni, semplicemente brillanti. Sia per l’abilità di intagliare tutte queste forme dettagliatesu questi materiali – rispettivamente carta e foglie secche -  che per l’originalità dei disegni che creano.

Quello che state vedendo è di Elsa Mora, che attualmente vive a Los Angeles in California, ma originaria di Cuba.

Devo dire che sono stata parecchio tempo a girovagare sul suo blog stupita dal suo meraviglioso talento e dalla sua incredibile fantasia, e vi suggerisco di andare a leggervi la sua pagina About me, una storia affascinante (con dei disegni divertenti) che mi ha toccato il cuore.

Trovate Elsa anche in Flickr, Facebook, Twitter ed Etsy.

Qui sotto invece potete ammirare i lavori di Lorenzo Duran da Guadalajara, Spagna. Potremmo definirli lavori di “leaf cutting” (intaglio della foglia).

La prima volta che li ho visti (via Anna Denise di “The Yellow Umbrella“) ho pensato “Oh mamma saura!”.
Non potevo credere che qualcuno fosse davvero riuscito a fare degli intagli così piccoli precisi in una foglia secca!

Che altro si può dire? Possiamo solo starcene a bocca spalancata e lasciarci trasportare dal sogno di questo mix di natura e arte.

Ora provate a non sentirvi ispirati, se ci riuscite!
