    Description

    Diatoms are single celled algae that have a bodily structure made from glass. 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.
    Own this one of a kind melding of the beauty of nature and masterful human creation from Klaus Kemp.
    For more information here is a piece the Smithsonian wrote on Klaus.
