This Incredible Artist Brings Nature Spirits To Life In Parks Throughout Slovenia

Born in 1971, artist Miha Brinovec has spent years traveling through the parks of Slovenia creating beautiful sculptures out of natural materials that embody the spirits of nature’s magical embodiments.
“As a child I always wanted to see mythical creatures from fairy tales. Of course I couldn’t see them.
Now I am older but that child inside me is still curious, so one day I came up with the idea how to see them. I went into the forest, picked up a magical place and surrendered myself with the process. I picked up available nature materials, asked the spirit to reveal himself (herself) to me and started to work. This is how some pretty amazing faces were brought to life.” – Miha Brinovec




Almost everybody likes chocolate. It is usually thought of as a sinful decadence, something we eat when we are choosing to indulge. Chocolate is also synonymous with happiness; do you ever notice people who are eating chocolate always seem happy to be doing so? There’s a good reason for that! Chocolate has been shown to actually raise serotonin levels (the happiness hormone) within the brain. I should clarify here though, there is a huge difference between regular old, overly processed milk chocolate, and dark chocolate that has little or no milk added and significantly less sugar. The best quality dark chocolate has cocoa percentages ranging from 70 to 99%.
