Experience the art of Oshibana: creating art with pressed flowers and leaves.

Inspired by the ancient and traditional Japanese art of flower arrangement—Ikebana—Montreal-based artist and photographer Raku Inoue creates colorful portraits of insects and other animals using natural art materials only - flowers, twigs, leaves, and stems from his garden. Each and every one of these beautiful animals is unique as he chooses his materials according to the seasons and what nature offers during them. Scroll down with Bored Panda’s interview with the artist!

Singapore-based artist Lim Zhi Wei, who goes by Limzy or @lovelimzy on Instagram, doesn't use your typical materials to create her mini masterpieces.

Grandma w/ Grandkids × Pressed Flower Art

Raku Inoue, an artist based in Montreal, Canada, has created a clever series of insect flower arrangements, titled "Natura Insects".

Beautiful colours found in hydrangeas and proteas make up this lovely little hummingbird. Handmade in Calgary, Canada, I grow, collect and press the flowers and create these unique pieces of artwork.
