i don't think he's English, he may be Swiss but not sure, I think his surname began with S, something like Sacha or Sacla but despite many searches can't find him. He also had his own website selling his various artwork. The painting in particular I remember was a track going up to a farmhouse made of cheese on a hill, a cart was at the foreground on the left hand side made of cheese and nuts, nuts represented gravel on the ground, condiments made up the fields, trees, etc. There was also a blue sky with clouds but can't remember what they were made of. It was absolutely brilliant. Everything, and I mean everything, was made out of general foods you find in most good kitchens.

there was more than one artist, but I guess you are looking for



Giuseppe Arcimboldo (1527-1593) was born in Milan, Italy. He is most famous for his paintings completed for the Hapsburg Court of Vienna between 1562 and 1587. His distinctive style combined fruit, vegetables, meat, and other organic objects in the form of the human face.
