Hand carved with toothpicks
His Inspiration
His residence in Egypt inspired his art back in 2008. It started with drawing designs inspired by the Arabic language. After a couple of years continuing his studies into university, he transitioned into using paint to make his intricate designs but a paintbrush wouldn’t do. He started experimenting with different tools and the toothpick art was born.
The butterfly is a wood cutout that I designed. Toothpicks are used to hand carve lines into a paste I created that is applied on the wood cutout. Gold Leaf is applied carefully & varnished. Its attached to a painted wood panel and a sawtooth hanger is screwed onto the back to hang! Or it stand on its own on a bedroom stand or mantle.
