Klaus Kemp has mastered the art of arranging these intricate microscopic organisms into unique and incredible pieces of art.Each individual shape seen in the images is a single organism too small to be seen by the naked eye. Using a microscope and amazing precision Klaus Kemp arranges and adheres these organisms to a microscope slide.
Klaus’ art is scarce and he is no longer taking commissions, making it even more difficult to find any of his work.
