Artist uses wood and sunlight to create art

Around The World

Ever heard of taking creativity to another level? Well, this artist proves it in an eccentric way. Michael Papadakis – otherwise known as @Sunscribes – is an artist and filmmaker who, creates the most amazing pieces of art using a technique called ‘heliography.’ So far, Papadakis has created pieces of the Statue of Liberty, portraits of animals and the picturesque New York City Skyline. The craziest part about his work is that it has been made using just a piece of wood and sunlight. No paint or intricate process involved, just the bare necessities that nature has gifted us.

How he does that, is a pretty simple process. Michael begins by taking a blank slate of wood, sets up his work space outside with ample sunlight, and uses a trusty magnifying glass to do all the work. The reflection from the sunlight on the glass, creates fire, which burns the patterns and shapes into the wood. Next thing you know, you’re a viral artist with the most fascinating art pieces in the world.

People all over social media are completely mind blown over this artist, and how he has taken creativity to the next level. It takes a lot of hard work to be a great artist, but it takes so much more to have the patience and knowledge to come up with a process as fascinating as this.
