have used strange mediums,
but none as strange as this, dead cockroaches! photographs Brenda Delgado/Facebook, Brenda Delgado,
a 30-year-old resident of Caloocan City in Manila came up with the idea to
paint on dead cockroaches while sweeping some dead bugs from her working space.
She noticed how shiny and smooth cockroach wings were, paused, and somehow
thought about painting on them. She started using oil paints to recreate tiny
versions of classic masterpieces like Van Gogh’s Starry Night or Vermeer’s Girl
With a Pearl Earring, and her works soon started attracting attention online,
with
just over 300 followers on Instagram at
the time of this writing, Brenda Delgado is only starting her journey to online
artistic stardom, all she has to do is persuade people to wear a dead cockroach, I am not sure how well that will catch on, but it has to be said, her miniatures are certainly different.
