“From a distance it looks like a simple red sculpture of the female form. But artist Gabor Fulop hasn’t used marble or paper-marche to create this piece of artwork called ‘The Lady Bug’ – and has in fact made up his model using 20,000 tiny ladybirds. Using artificial resin, the Bulgarian sculptor handmade the minuscule beetles, before painting them individually. He then applied the Ladybirds – 20,000 in total – to a model of the female form. He said: ‘The work Ladybug resembles a goddess of nature, a fusion of both human and animal organisms, that is both a unique being and a mass of creatures that took a human form.” w/ photos
