]]> Nayan Shrimali and Venus Bird, the duo behind the art project The Paper Ark, recently presented a new series of their acclaimed miniature paper artworks. This time, Shrimali and Bird focused on showcasing the beauty and diversity of parrots.

For several years now, Shrimali and Bird have been amazing social media users and art enthusiasts with their well-crafted miniature paper artworks. Their works are mostly inspired by birds and animals, with artists striving to redefine paper as a material and use it to educate people about our planet’s biodiversity through art.

The new series, “Parrot Project,” features paper miniatures of 40 different species of parrots. Each miniature is meticulously cut by hand and painted, resulting in a realistic depiction of these fascinating birds.

According to Shrimali and Bird, the goal of the “Parrot Project” was both to show their beauty and help people realize how important they are.

“We want our audience to not just appreciate the beauty of this wonderful species but also understand its importance in nature,” the duo stated.

Shrimali and Bird made these parrot miniatures available for sale on The Paper Ark website while adding a good cause component. They will donate 10% of each sale to organizations that focus on parrot conservation.

]]> Paper art might seem like one of the easiest mediums to work with. You simply take a piece of paper, fold it in a particular manner, and voila. However, the works of talented paper artists like John Ed De Vera show that there is much more to this practice than meets the eye.

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.

]]> When done properly, paper art can be awe-inspiring and captivating. This is the case with the works of Indian artist Parth Kothekar, who creates intricate paper art depicting birds and insects.

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.

Which makes sense, judging by the fact that her work is inspired by the many places she hasn’t yet visited. “There are so many places in the world where I’d love to go, many of which I have taken inspiration from,” she told Strictly Paper. “One of those places is the Galápagos Islands! It’s the number one treasure trove of unique weird and wonderful creatures and plant life. It would be fascinating to follow in the footsteps of Charles Darwin and discover some of the worlds most unique wildlife for myself.”

Designing, cutting, and handcrafting all of her creations, Pierpoint is a master of observation and admits to taking immense pleasure from observing the world around her, in all its glory. Her paper sculptures are used both commercially and artistically, for a variety of different purposes ranging from advertising campaigns and set design to packaging and window displays. 

Whatever the case is, the finished product is always a thing of beauty. Take a look for yourself.

Photography | Day 13 #marchmeetthemaker My work wouldn’t be what it is without good photography! I owe a special thanks to my fiancé @mikefoyle for shooting most of my sculptures, behind the scenes footage and making-of videos! We always get a great response with the making-of videos because they give a good sense of my process and how everything comes together from start to finish ✂??? A few facts about my other half and work buddy @mikefoyle – ? Mike is a photographer and videographer who runs an aerial filming company called Beehive Aerial @mikefoyledrone. He’s worked on some really exciting dramas and feature films over the past few years! ?? ? He’s really into the digital side of things so he loves to geek out and get stuck into the lighting and post processing side of things… so the combination of my creative and his technical skills compliment each other well. ? His work has led him to some incredible places like the Maldives, Qatar, Iceland and many more ?✈. When he’s not on shoots we share a studio space at our home in the Somerset countryside ????? . For some of the large projects I’ve worked with the super awesome @eddfuryphoto who has a huge photography studio in Bristol. This is ideal for those projects which are too big to photograph in our home studio or when Mike’s not available. I’ve also worked on collaborative and other London based projects with @tristantownley, @garydidsbury and @packshotfactory all are super talented photographers and film studios!

8 weeks till Christmas and I'm busy working on some exciting festive projects at the moment. But today I'm looking back at a previous project – creating a Christmas scene for @visitbristol in collaboration with @pelotondesign back in 2016. Not only did I create some classic festive motifs, but I also recreated some famous Bristol landmarks in my sculpture which was used as part of Visit Bristol's 'Merry Bristmas' campaign ??? . . . #paper #paperart #papercity #bristol #visitbristol #tourism #paperartist #illustrator #creative #papersculpture #cityscape #Christmas #Christmasdecor #touristboard #UK #uktravel #citybreak #bristollife #bristolharbour #bristolartist #bristol247 #ThrowbackThursday #nearlychristmas #merrybristmas #cliftonsuspensionbridge #ssgreatbritain #ilovebristol #papersculpture

]]> Some artists use paper as a blank canvas; others, make art out of the paper itself. Meet Danish paper artist, Marianne Eriksen-Scott Hansen.

Known for her “paper couture,” Hansen makes ginormous paper flowers, using 50 to 60 layers of papers for each of her creations. Each of her elaborate pieces is made by hand and carefully crafted using scissors.

Since graduating from The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in 1995, she has designed for huge brands like Levi Strauss and Georg Jensen. In addition to her work with industrial products, she makes spectacular hand cut accessories that have been adorned by Björk and Steven Tyler among others.

Check out some of her eye-popping work in the gallery below.
