When architectural concepts meet eggshells
Ema Stoličná
A Pole Piotr Bockenheim is an architect. He came across decorating eggs by chance when spotting, on the Internet, a delicately milled egg produced by an unknown artist. This inspired him to try his hand at such art, too. His work is characterised by hundreds of tiny holes, unbelievably thin lines, motifs derived from Nature and, at times, by visible influences of Art Deco. His works of art exhibit and convey real mastership, attention to detail, patience and a well-refined eye of an architect. The results are tens of beautiful eggs that are definitely more than just Easter requisites.
