Raku Inoue is a talented Canadian artist who specialises in carefully arranging flower petals, leaves and other plant parts to recreate pop culture characters, animals and pretty much anything else you can think of.

Inoue`s journey into painstaking floral artbegan one windy day in 2017 when he noticed a strong wind shaking dozens of pink petals from a rose bush in his backyard. The Japanese-born artist picked them up and came up with the idea to use the petals to create art. He arranged them in the shape of a beetle with small twigs for legs, and his little project turned out so well that he kept at it. Today, Raku Inoue is famous for his impressive portfolio of plant art. Each design is meticulously arranged and photographed before being composted, highlighting the ephemeral nature of his work.
