However, he is maybe best-known for his delicate and fragile leaf-cutting art and his journey began back in 2012. According to the artist, he wanted to work on something which has a strong message.

“This art for me is about seeing! It is not just make a beautiful work,” the artist shared on Bored Panda. “I believe one of the most important responsibilities of the artists is to make others see or create new ways to see the hidden aspects. We are surrounded by visual pollution and ads which they bombard our visions.”

If you are interested to see Asadi’s work, have a look at his Instagram page or his website where he shares his creations.

We’re sure Omid Asadi from Iran is an interesting person – he’s a former engineer and champion boxer who currently lives in the UK as an artist. His art reflects his engineer mind – the cut on the leaves are extremely precise and look incredibly real.

“My leaf art is rooted in my childhood when there was a deep emotional relation between me and nature,” Asadi shared. “As a child, I used a needle to create shapes on leaves or fallen rose petals.”

But why did he chose leaf carving of all things?

“In general, it’s my way to depict the difference between the ways we see our surroundings, to show we do not tend to notice the ordinary things unless they are brought to our attention,” he simply explained.
