Artist Kanat Nurtazin Creates Marvelous Leaf Cutout Art That Reveals Hidden Stories

Embarking on a journey seven years ago, the project ‘100 Methods of Drawing’ by Kanat Nurtazin explores the fusion of drawing and leaf cut techniques. This collection showcases intricate leaf cutouts artfully placed against live backgrounds, injecting a fresh dimension into the artistic realm. Take, for instance, the whimsical scene of Harry Potter soaring on a broomstick through the streets of London—a vivid illustration of Nurtazin’s imaginative prowess.

In Nurtazin’s words, ‘A leaf’s life is ephemeral, much like our own, and I aim to breathe a second life into them, unveiling untold stories. I envision a radiant moment, etch it onto a leaf, and delicately carve it with a razor. The essence lies in discovering the perfect backdrop, capturing it through my lens at the precise moment and angle.’ The meticulous precision in the cutouts underscores the fragility of leaves—unpredictable and delicate. Despite these challenges, the artist consistently astounds us with her exceptional skills.
