My name is Anna Tokarska and I'm a Polish artist & photographer creating realistic looking portraits composed mostly of fruits and vegetables. The inspiration behind the work, are the paintings of XVI Italian mannerist Giuseppe Arcimboldo, who has been known for his incredible allegorical-still life-portraits.
The whole set of eight photographs took about a month to complete. Each was built vertically with great care, measuring from 50-80cm, then photographed.

Check out Giuseppe Arcimboldo's paintings produced during the 16th century.
You should check out the work of Jason Mecier, who also makes portraits out of food. My favorite: his portrait of Kevin Bacon, made out of bacon.
Awesome! My name is Antoine and I also love Archimboldo. it inspired me to make this series of photo collages, check out my work. https://antoinesho.carbonmade.com/projects/2961058
I don't know about realistic looking but the look great!!! Like characters out of a fairytale :)
I have studied art , i am aware of how when inspiration strikes, it is usualy from something that already exists.your work is wonderful but i'm afraid unoriginal. You could try to get further apart from arcimbaldi's work and give it a try with a more personal style?
You didn't just make faces out of food, you gave them character and charm. They are as amazing on a technical level as they are on an aesthetic level.
There was a foreign kids tv show in Australia that used to do this to creepy music, I can't remember what it was called though!
Superb work as usual from a great artist! Watch this space people.
They remind of those paintings of fruit faces but I can't remember who they were by!
