Unique art of 'sculpting' leaves

Kanat Nurtazin is an amateur artist living in the Republic of Kazakhstan.

He graduated with a bachelor's degree in International Business Administration and has not received any formal training in the arts.

All of Kanat Nurtazin's knowledge of painting was self-taught.

While searching for a job that matched his bachelor's degree, Kanat came up with the idea for his "100 Drawing Methods" project. Leaf cutting art was one of them.

To illustrate her idea, Kanat had to choose leaves of the right size and color. Then she used a pen and knife to create the shapes.

He loves what he does because he sees how fragile the lives of leaves are, so he decided to give them a second life by drawing interesting stories about them.

Besides artworks made from leaves, Kanat also paints on apples.
