Vik Muniz, a Brazilian Artist has created some amazing art pieces! Using his photographs to create representations using everyday objects and materials such as such as
diamonds, sugar, thread, chocolate syrup and garbage!
While in Sao Paulo, we came across a gallery exhibiting his work and I fell in love with his style and technique. However I was not too convinced with the subject matter, as most pieces look very familiar and evoke images of other famous artists' work. What is cool is getting up close and realizing that the whole image is a collage made out of photos from books and magazines.
