Most of us dismiss objects like paperclips and toothpicks as useless junk. Clutter they may be, but for an artist like Adam Hillman, these and other trivial objects become tools used to create real art. Hillman stacks paperclips, candy, coins, and pieces of chocolate into visual masterpieces.

You may remember his name from a previous post where we featured his more abstract and geometrical arrangements. More recently, the artist turned his attention to famous historical paintings like The Mona Lisa and Vincent Van Gogh’s Starry Night, playfully reinterpreting these famed artworks using his materials of choice. It’s breathtaking how the artist manages to capture the unique mood and style of these iconic artworks using found objects like Tic Tacs and cereal!

You can view more of the artist's works and prints on his Instagram Page and Society6 Page.
