Food art is one where the medium used to create the art are edible materials. This art is either intended to attract the attention of the viewers towards the food for better eating experience, or that the whole composition is created mainly for the art’s sake. Either way, food depicting non-food items, or in the case Carl Warner’s works, landscapes, are always fascinating to look at.
Here in this article, we are showcasing 30+ beautiful and creative food art that you can take a look at for your inspiration and entertainment. If you any of the items listed here, or if you have anything in mind, drop us a comment below. We will also be glad if you will share this to your friends in the social media. Happy viewing!

Carl Warner – Foodscapes
Among the food artists, Carl Warner specializes in creating not just a single piece of artwork out of an edible material but whole sets of art pieces arranged together on an edible surface to form a landscape. On a single foodscape for example you can see deliberately carved and molded figures along with other intricate details. The result are stunning panoramas complete with all details found in the environment. Not only that, Carl Warner’s art does not stop at the modeling of landscapes alone but he combines it with skillful photography. Carl explains that his images can take up to two or three days to build and photograph and then a couple of days retouching and fine tuning the images to blend all the elements together. Thus, on his final artwork you can see dramatic skies complementing the landscape models he made. Carl also spends a lot of time planning each image before shooting in order to choose the best ingredients to replicate larger scale shapes and forms within nature, so he spends a lot of time staring at vegetables in supermarkets which makes him seem a little odd! However, he is careful to point out that finding the right shaped broccoli to use as a tree is an all important task.
