Paper can be used for so many things, other than writing, but only a few people have the patience to explore some of the incredible features of this material. Paper artist Raya Sader Bujana is one of those people who uses paper to create incredible pieces of art. So incredible, you’ll find it hard to believe they’re real.
This Barcelona-based artist creates miniature paper plants and she needs between five to 20 hours to finish each one of her little projects.
“I find it very important to push my limits and capacities while creating, and I also push the limits of the materials themselves”, said Raya, “It’s a constant challenge for me. Can I make this in a paper? How real can I make it look? How small can I make it? I really enjoy the mix of excitement and a bit of fear when I’m trying to create something new. I am always wondering whether it will work out as I imagine”.
She prefers creating exotic flowers like a bird of paradise, blue Himalayan poppies, tiny king proteas, and cacti. To demonstrate how patient Raya really is, we’ll only mention that the smallest plants she’s created are shorter than an inch.
