Banana art… probably the most creative thing we’ve seen on the Internet this week

Olivia Hayes

The Internet can act like a black hole at times.

You tell yourself that you’re just taking a scroll through Instagram, but several minutes later you find yourself mindlessly looking at a family of dogs and a pig who live happily together (it’s happened to me, several times).

However, if you are to bury yourself in social media, why not take a look at this weird, but very wonderful art account.

Of course, it’s not any regular art account; instead, it focuses on art on bananas. As you do.

The man behind the Instagram account, a graphic designer, told Indy100 that he just got bored one day and decided to draw on a banana… and hasn’t stopped since.

“I just kinda challenged myself to see what else I could come up with to draw on a banana, and I never stopped since. After a while, I also noticed that I was getting more likes and attention for my drawings on bananas than my other stuff,” he said.

“So instead of my other projects, I gradually started to focus more and more on the banana art.

“Then I saw two bananas in the supermarket together and it made me think of Gustav Klimt ‘The Kiss’.

“Other times I just want to make something and look for original ways to draw it on a fruit. Subject matter wise it’s the old classic painter like Da Vinci, Dali, Vincent van Gogh, animals and pop culture (movies, series and music).”

It’s sorta strange, yes… but we absolutely love it.
