Patrick Cabral is a freelance art director based in Manila, Philippines. He has been doing a variety of art since childhood. He got interested in calligraphy when he was 11 but as he got older, he became drawn to the digital world and worked as a web programmer and animator. Today, he’s combining his love for calligraphy with the structure inherent in the digital design.
His work includes paper cut-outs portraits of animals beautified with delicate lace motifs stacked in layers to create a 3D effect. Last year, he created a series to raise awareness of endangered animals from all over the world. The intricate and abstract facial patterns of these animals serve as a reminder about their vulnerability. Cabral donated half of all his sold portraits at the art auction site called Acts of Kindness, to the World Wide Fund for Nature in the Philippines.
Check out his latest work below, and this time he’s taking his art into the next level by putting some colors on it.
