Photographer Klaus Enrique Gerdes creates a series of portraits made of fruits, flowers, and vegetables called “arcimboldo”. The name comes from “Giuseppe Arcimboldo” the 16th Century painter famous for painting portraits – over 400 years ago – entirely made up of fruits, vegetables, plants and other inanimate objects that still captures the imagination of art enthusiasts the world over.
