Many artists see nature as their biggest source of inspiration, and Marlene Birkmann came up with a creative way to honor it. She’s the founder of Paper Lene, who specializes in making some of the most realistic paper flowers that you’ll ever come across.
Birkmann is a talented paper artist from Germany who loves nature in all its glory. She’s an animal lover and avid reader who enjoys long walks in nature, watching movies and TV shows, and getting creative with paper. She was studying German and history when she started her account, and paper art became her favorite creative outlet during her studies.
Birkmann’s paper flowers are handmade from high-quality Italian crepe paper, and she sees them as a great long-lasting decoration. In addition to making paper replicas of her favorite flavors, she also accepts commissions on her Etsy page, where she sold almost 200 paper flowers.
No flower is off limits for this talented artist, and we’ve seen her study many different species in an attempt to make their life-like paper replicas. From tulips and dahlias to roses and sunflowers, she created hundreds of paper flowers in the past few years, and the more time passes, the harder it is to tell that they’re not actually real.
