Chinese calligraphy is known to be an art in itself, but one artist has taken Chinese calligraphy to the next level by transforming words into flawless pictures of the words!

The pictures are so smooth and well done that I didn’t even notice that they were made of of words until I looked REALLY closely. This definitely introduces a whole new way of looking at Chinese characters!

The Chinese character(s) underneath the picture tells us what the picture is of and is also what the picture is made out of.

ex) This picture of a bear is made out of the Chinese word for bear:

An owl:

A Chinese saying that means long life or longevity:

A beautiful hometown:

A lovely girl/maiden:

The talent needed to produce such amazing art is mind-blowing. I gaped at these for a good ten minutes before I was able to pick my jaw back up!
