The last time we spoke with Raku Inoue, the artist behind this unique series of portraits, we learned about the origins of his passion for floral compositions: “It all started when one day, it was very windy and the petals of a rose bush in my backyard fell to the ground. I picked those up and made my first unique design: a rose petal beetle. I found the process to be so calming and therapeutic that I made this a creative exercise that I would do in the morning while drinking coffee. With time, these animal portraits became my artistic identity.” More info: Instagram | reikancreations.com Most of the work that I post on there does not take long to make and I view them more like a therapeutic exercise where I get to loosen up and relax a bit. This takes me back to when I was little, when I created things purely for the fun of it, and these exercises are a reminder of that time.” Follow Bored Panda on Google News!
