VEGETABLE ARTIST IN THE MIDST OF MILAN
I shot this video three years ago, and today I suddenly thought about this man and his incredible skill of making animals and roses out of carrots and beetroots (maybe because I’m suffering from food poisoning in Peru and am dreaming about anything fresh!). I was mesmerized then, and still am now. The most troubling part of it all is that all this vegetable artist would receive for his work was donations — and sometimes these donations were worth no more than 20 cents.

So neat! My husband is a chef and does vegetable carving. It’s an art form!
Sally, it is indeed! I still can’t believe how someone can see a fish in a carrot! There are so many amazing skills in this world that I admire, and sculpture, whether from vegetables or marble, is definitely one of them.
