Leaf cutting art by Omid Asadi
Leaf cutting art by Omid Asadi. Iranian artist Omid Asadi (Deh mirahmadi) currently living in Manchester, Cheshire, creates art from natural fallen leaves. These little masterpieces are delicately made with a very sharp knife and needle in cutting and carving technique. His artworks were exhibited in London, Milan, Manchester (2013 and 2014). On his website, he writes: “For me, art is a way to see the world, and everything around me, from a different angle. I started thinking about why no one notices how beautiful the leaves are. I wanted to give them a second life and turn them into works of art”. This was his first step to becoming an artist and his leaf cutting art led to a very successful way.
“Anyone can love a rose, but it takes a lot to love a leaf. It’s ordinary to love the beautiful but it’s beautiful to love the ordinary.”
