It takes a lot of experience and strong sense of design to effect a transformation as good as this one. The tree is a Scot's pine (Pinus sylvestris) and the artist is Martin Bonsai Kolacia.
I don’t read a word of Czech, so aside from figuring out that Martin Bonsai Kolacia lives in The Czech Republic (it’s the cz at the end of his url that gave him away) and that he has inserted Bonsai into the middle of his name, there’s not too much more I can say about him. If you’d like do your own research here’s your link to his fb page and here’s his website.
