"Marta Grossi eats her art for breakfast"

Exploring a variety of techniques from black markers to glitter, italian born, hong-kong-based designer marta grossi has created this series of edible banana graffiti. Each piece of fruit provides a simple and unique canvas upon which to inscribe the designs, transforming their exterior skin into a piece of artwork, at least temporarily. the photos were captured on an iPhone 5 and after the work is completed, the designer destroys it – by using it for what it was intended for – to be eaten.

‘I customize my banana during the night. I have my banana for breakfast the day after. this is a temporary space and love to prove that inspiration is everywhere.’ says designer Marta Grossi.

Even though bananas seem like a completely random and bizarre place for art, Grossi admits she finds inspiration all around her. “I always found inspiration from simple and ordinary things,” she says. “A signal on the street, a song, a tender and elderly couple at the park, soy-sauce stains on a table. Everything can be inspiration and change our perspective. I love to see things from different angles.” For Grossi, bananas are a perfect medium for art because they are “cheap, organic and easy to find almost everywhere.”
