The post Indian Artist Creates Intricate Paper Birds and Insects appeared first on MyTrendTales.
]]>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 we talk about traditional paper cutting art, the works are two-dimensional and depthless,” explained Fukuda in an interview with X-Ray Magazine. “However, I would like to express depth and a three-dimensional feeling with my paper cutting art. Therefore, I make large works, carefully using the contrast of the thickness and thinness of the line.”
Her work includes realistic renditions of animals, with a special focus on marine life and underwater creatures, but there are also some floral patterns and portraits every once in a while. “To make one artwork, I combine white paper, artistic skill, cutting techniques with a three-dimensional feeling on one piece of paper,” she says. “There might be a painter who has exceptional painting skills, or a paper cutting artist with excellent cutting skills, but I think that no one has the talents of both. An artist who can produce a three-dimensional feeling with one piece of paper is considered unusual.”
“The way to make a basic paper cutting is to first draw a sketch on thin paper, put it on top of a black sheet of paper, which will become the final work, and then cut the two pieces together,” she explains her creative process. She stresses the sketch is the most important part of the process. “My work is either good or bad based on the sketch and its completeness,” says Fukuda. “A very important part of the process in creating the sketch is calculating the overall balance while considering the reversal, left to right.”
Prepare to be amazed.

#poppyspapercutsHer early creative freedom, one would argue, would foresee her later career choice. After studying illustration at Kingston University, Chancellor went on to study at the Royal Drawing School where she started making customized paper artworks for friends and family. This practice has been continuously refined, over the past seven years, with both her private and commercial clients.
With clients that include brands like Nike, Adidas, and YouTube, people are clearly taking note. Chancellor also runs papercutting workshops for brands, events, and festivals which included Latitude Festival and Bestival. According to her estimations, she has taught hundreds of people at venues such as The Royal Academy of Art, The V&A Museum, and The Southbank Centre.
But at the heart of her creation is a blank piece of paper. “I love that it’s a cheap everyday object that people often disregard,” she says. “Paper is such a familiar thing to us, something that we’d probably just chuck in the bin. I enjoy that I can elevate it and turn it into something really beautiful.”
Take a look at some of her beautiful creations.
