Insect Art (for ehsan uncle)

Banana art se tung thay aap…have a look at this.Its made of real insects :x2: , though not chinese artist :bummer:
I thought koe chinese artist hoga.

This is the insect :smiley:

This ceiling truly is delightful! Entitled “Heaven of Delight”, Belgian artist Jan Fabre has created “murals” out of Jewel Beetle elytra (the hard part of a beetle wing)! Over 1.5 million beetle wings have been used to cover the ceiling panels and chandelier in the Belgian Royal Palace. Although he had several full-time helpers, this work still took months to install!
I love what he has to say about the durability of beetle wings:
‘‘The wing cases of the jewel beetles are made of chitin, one of the hardest, most imperishable materials we know. They consist of wafer-thin platelets that capture, reflect and transform light. Oil paint fades; the carapace will keep its original colors.’’
This gives me a lot of hope that my own personal creations made with beetles will last for many years to come!
Apparently these beetle elytra come as a by-product of the Thai food industry. The rather large beetles are used as food, and the wings are thrown away!
I just love the originality and the beauty of this work! Enchanting!
