The post Portuguese Origami Artist Creates Impressive Masks and Portraits Using a Single Sheet of Paper appeared first on MyTrendTales.
]]>Charrua manages to pack a lot of details into his creations despite using just a single sheet of paper. They feature a wide range of facial expressions, ranging from sad to angry and indifferent, while often containing unusual facial features like horns.
Charrua initially started becoming interested in origami after looking to pick up a fun pastime activity with his daughter. This prompted him to start exploring the art of folding paper further, and he became intrigued by the possibilities that origami offers.
Since then, Charrua became lauded for his exceptional origami works but the artist believes that he still has a lot to learn and explore in the origami world to further hone his skills.
“I think, in a way, I still have much to learn and explore in this universe of folds, and my creative process at this time is somehow associated with my freedom in exploring origami, without constraints or preconceptions, using a range of techniques associated with some improvisation,” Charrua told Origami USA in a recent interview.

]]>De Vera’s works could be described as a mix of paper sculptures and illustrations. He creates each piece by building it from different pieces of cutout paper that come together into a 3D illustration.
For inspiration, De Vera turns to nature, scenes from everyday life, and pop culture. On his social media, you’ll find paper art dedicated to animals or sports, as well as depictions of characters from different TV shows, animated films, and popular movies.
De Vera, who hails from the Philippines, describes himself as a “multidisciplinary artist” who is always on the lookout for something that will help him find a new way to improve his craft.
“My philosophy of creativity has so far led to finding new ways to push and innovate my craft, unafraid of learning new things and twisting them in my own creative way,” he shares on his website.

]]>The post Emma Taylor Turns Secondhand Books Into Captivating Paper Sculptures appeared first on MyTrendTales.
]]>For example, a sculpture made out of pages of Odhams New Illustrated Atlas of the World shows a paper ship sailing the paper sea. On the other hand, Eric de Maré’s book Wren’s London, which tells the story of the rebuilding of London after the Great Fire of 1666, was turned into a paper sculpture of St. Paul’s Cathedral.
According to Taylor, she spends hours exploring antique shops, market stalls with used books, and online shops to find the right material for her sculptures. She prefers old books and usually opts for those published in the first half of the 20th century.
“I instantly know the right book, as I can picture the sculpture as if it has been laying dormant, just waiting to be given form,” she shared in a recent interview with Colossal.
Taylor’s works have been exhibited at various galleries in the UK and several international art fairs. The artist also shares all of her new works on social media. Continue scrolling to check out more of them below.

]]>Kothekar’s creations are unique thanks to the complex patterns he employs in his paper art. After carving a silhouette of a subject from a sheet of paper, he proceeds to decorate the artwork with countless cuts, lines, and gaps, giving it a lace-like effect.
Kothekar got the idea for his unique paper art while experimenting with graffiti stencils. He decided to invert the original design, and his first paper artwork was born.
“The process of inverting the design and carving it from a single piece of paper is fascinating, as the final product is a mystery until the very end,” Kothekar shared in a recent interview.
Paper art was originally just a hobby for Kothekar, but it didn’t take long before he started viewing it as a profession. He now has an Etsy shop on which he sells his works while also enjoying a large social media following.
“My beautiful artworks are based on everyday aspects of life. If it is challenging, it motivates me,” the artist explains.

]]>When she started with this creative outlet in 2012, Beltran Herrera wanted to immortalize on paper the wildlife she has seen in her surroundings. But over time, she started drawing inspiration from exotic species that she never had the opportunity to see in person. This led her to adopt different techniques so that she could faithfully recreate each species.
“I like this approach because it is not harmful, and through my work, I can show and tell my viewers about the things I have been learning, of the importance of nature just by researching and making it myself,” she revealed to Colossal in one interview.
Beltran Herrera’s creative process begins well before she starts working on a piece. She first does extensive research about the subject that includes looking at photos, videos, and even biology books. She then lays out a design and spends a significant amount of time choosing the right paper before finally beginning with the manual work.
Her beautiful sculptures are always made to scale, and it can take her several weeks before finishing a single piece.

]]>The post The Magnificent Paper Art of Julianna Szabo appeared first on MyTrendTales.
]]>Born in Hungary and based in London, Szabo studied Visual Communication at the National College of Art and Design in Dublin. That’s where she first showed interest in the graphic side of design, studying 3D animation, virtual reality, and multimedia. It was only after making her first paper sculpture that she realized her true calling in life: paper art.
Now a full-time paper artist, her work includes papercraft, animation, set and prop design, and art direction—all of which revolve around her fascination with paper: “My home is full of paper creations, every available space is occupied by something made of paper,” admitted Szabo in an interview with Arctic Paper.
Szabo explains that when starting a new project, she usually comes up with a number of ideas and makes some rough sketches. She then selects her favorite idea and further researches it until she has a final image formed in her head. According to Szabo, she usually prefers ideas that have some kind of twist in them, ones that catch the viewer’s attention and draws them in. The work itself includes a healthy amount of cutting and layering until an image finally emerges.
According to Szabo, the biggest reward is seeing people’s reactions to her work: “To see the sparkle in their eyes when they realize that my work is entirely made of paper, a material they are very familiar with,” she says.

Crédit photo : @agence_la_suiteBut oddly enough, Houdé-Diebolt didn’t start out as a paper artist. A textile designer by training, she graduated from the École Supérieure d’Arts Appliqués Duperré in 2007. “Colors, patterns, and materials are a real passion to me,” she explained in an interview with Strictly Paper. “It always has been this way. I also learned the Traditional Chinese paper technique in a design institute in China.”
“When I decided to become a freelancer, I started by creating textile patterns for a few brands,” she further relayed. “But I won’t fit my need. I needed to crafted things. To manipulate and touch materials and colors. That’s how I came to paper.”
With a passion for color and texture, inspiration comes easy to Houdé-Diebolt. “Everything around me can be transformed into inspiration,” she says. “Cooking, architecture, nature… I always try to take a lot of photos of things that I see everyday, keeping them in my Personal Inspiration Booklet. And of course, traveling is a huge inspirational source.”
Take a look at some of her original creations in the gallery below.

]]>“With 65k followers on Instagram and solo exhibitions around the world, their specific papercut and backlit style has made quite a splash. “We would say that we are storytellers and we are using this medium to transport the viewer into our world,” they explained, poetically, in an interview with ACTFAQs. “We have worked and developed this style which is very unique,” they note. “We are still pushing ourselves within this art form to tell these stories in a better way.”
According to the duo, stories have so many shades and depth in them, and paper as a medium has the exact qualities to reflect and interpret them. “We start with a story,” they explain the creative process that takes place behind the scenes.”Our art is a collaborative process, so it might be something we come across during our travel or something we imagine. We then sketch it out and hand-cut these intricate layers. The next phase is putting the layers together, depending on how it interacts with light, making some last-minute tweaks. This is the most crucial part of our work.”
The whole process takes between 8 to 10 days depending on the size and the intricacy of what they are creating. “The idea of using paper as a sculpting medium and forming 3D dioramas is something that is really new,” Hari & Deepti note, “but there is a fresh wave of artists trying out paper art. We hope to have more artists exploring this medium.”
