Amazing Art Made Of Map

Artist: Nikki Rosato

Massachusetts-based artist Nikki Rosato cuts away old maps until only the roads and rivers remain. She creates compelling 2-D and 3-D portraits of real-life people from maps of places they care about or identify with.



"Our physical bodies are beautiful structures full of detail, and they hold the stories that haunt and mold our lives. The lines on a road map are beautifully similar to the lines that cover the surface of the human body," Rosato says in a statement on her website.
