When pop culture meets botanical art, it gives birth to fascinating and poetic creations. The artist Raku Inoue, whose name is surely not unknown to you if you have been following us for a while, amazes us once again with his arrangements of flowers and leaves that reinterpret the icons of pop culture.

If he had already dazzled us with his creativity by reproducing insects, animals, or dinosaurs, he would have proved to us once again that he has a lot of ideas. Always using petals, leaves, and stems, he has created vibrant portraits of iconic characters from pop culture.

Pikachu, Totoro, Super Mario, and more come to life in a totally unusual but assuredly realistic way. Each composition is an explosion of colors and textures, transforming natural elements the artist picks into captivating works of art.
