I'm loving this tree. Even though we know it has been worked by human hands, the link to its natural state hasn't been lost at all. If anything it has been enhanced. Bonsai at its best! No variety is given, though it looks like a collected juniper.
Nacho Marin is someone who was already an artist when he discovered bonsai and who brought his vision, talent and experience to the art. And though people often say that we are all artists, still, most of us will never be Michelangelo,* no matter how hard we try…
The images shown here are all from Nacho Marin’s facebook photos. For more you can take a look at these Bark posts.
This sleek bunjin style juniper is also a Nacho tree (as are the other bonsai shown here).
Another remarkable juniper in a drum pot. The strange piece of deadwood at the base really pulls your eye. For a moment I thought it might be a piece of coral or lava.
There's some great bonsai south of the border. That's Nacho on the right and Felipe Gonzalez on the left.
*I’m not saying that Nacho is like Michelangelo, but if we can call Dan Robinson the Picasso of Bonsai…
