Idafrosk's Edible Art
Norwegian artist Ida Skivenes turns fruit, veg and toast into landscapes, animals and famous paintings — from Munch to Kandinsky.
What it is
The @idafrosk account belongs to Norwegian artist Ida Skivenes, now based in Berlin. She makes pictures out of food: fruit, vegetables, bread and grains arranged on a plate into animals, landscapes and scenes from books. Her best-known series is the Art Toast Project, recreating works by Munch, Kandinsky, Degas, Picasso and Dalí on a single slice of bread. Her plates also became a book, "Eat Your Art Out", published in several languages.
Why we picked it
It's food that works as a visual joke and a tiny art lesson at once. Anyone can recognise Munch's "The Scream" in banana and jam — no translation needed. Everything is made from everyday groceries, no editing tricks or fancy ingredients, so the account nudges you to try it yourself. A lovely companion to your morning coffee.
Each plate has an idea behind it — a pun, a nod to a book or film, a lucky shape match — which is what makes them stick in your memory.
Where to start
- Find the famous-painting toasts and try to name the original before reading the caption.
- Look at the landscape plates: bread mountains, banana clouds, berry seas.
- Notice how few ingredients it takes to make a recognisable image.
- Save a couple of ideas for breakfast with kids — many are easy to copy.
- If you're hooked, look up her book "Eat Your Art Out".
Who it's for
Parents trying to make breakfast more appealing. Food photographers hunting for plating ideas. Art lovers who enjoy a playful nod to the classics. And anyone who likes beautiful food.
