I don’t regularly say that I’m blown away by any kind of art really, but the work of a Japanese artist named Akie Nakata is really amazing.
She’s also known as Stone Artist because of her one-of-a-kind works that fit into the palm of your hand. Nakata paints animals onto small stones and you really have to see them to believe them.
Take a look at Nakata’s Instagram and Facebook pages and enjoy the photos of her work below.
Very impressive!
