The sweet art of Osamu Watanabe

Osamu Watanabe is a young (and quite charming) Japanese artist, who draws inspiration for his works from the art of confectionery. His specialty is the “Fake cream” technique, familiar among Italian creatives, that Watanabe is using since 2000, decorating statues and furnishings with white tufts of cream and perfect reproductions of fruits and candies. His works are as tempting as spectacular!

Recently, it has been published the first anthology of his works, entitled Sweet or unsweet?, in which the artist presents some of his latest creations… to watch and not to eat! XD

Also, last February, Osamu Watanabe was in Italy for his first exhibition in our country. Here’s an interview where he talks of his works and his artistic vision.

Are you hungry now? Since we love cakes and sweets, we totally adore these fantastic creations. :love:
