The post Ross Symons’ Origami Art is Worth the Hype appeared first on TettyBetty.
]]>But what began as a challenge grew into a booming business with over 100K followers. In fact, Symons quit his 9-to-5 job as a website developer and is now committed to being a paper artist.
“Instagram is a platform that, if used correctly, you can connect with thousands of people around the world,” explains Symons. “Without Instagram, I would not be able to do what I do for a living,” he admits. “I connected with many people who folded paper and then eventually with people that I did work with. It is now my main marketing channel.”
Based in Cape Town, South Africa, his brand White on Rice is centered around the ancient Japanese art, creating social media content for brands and private clients, origami commissions, origami installations, and even stop motion animation.
His process includes a lot of research and planning beforehand. “I would start by finding reference images of what other origami artists have folded and see what I can use in my design,” he recalled in the interview. “I’d then take a sheet and (I’ve only recently started getting into this) plot out where I want to put the wings, beak, legs, etc.”
Birds are a common theme throughout his work, but also other animals and insects such as butterflies, rabbits, and even dinosaurs. Take a look at some of his recent projects in the gallery below and follow him on Instagram for more.

]]>The 23-year-old Juho Könkkölä was only a boy when he started folding paper, and nowadays, with more than 15 years of experience, he can proudly say that he is a “Finnish origami artist who brings ideas into reality by folding paper.”
He started his Instagram account back in mid-January of 2021, and began posting images of his origami models. Without any cutting, the young artist folds his human characters using a single square sheet of paper. In his portfolio, you can see sculptures inspired by folk tales, mythologies, books, movies, video games, and others.
Könkkölä needs a couple of months to create a single piece of origami character. His latest artwork, a 28-centimeter-tall samurai warrior folded from one sheet of Wenzhou rice paper, took him more than three months to finish, from designing to folding the character.
If you’re interested in his masterpieces, check out the gallery below. Have you ever tried making something by using the origami technique? What are your thoughts on Könkkölä’s work?

]]>Kraft is currently working as a coding teacher for artists and designers at Parsons and the School for Poetic Computation. His love for combining math and art began when he was young and he started folding origami when he was in elementary school.
Kraft is also into classical music. Here’s what he said about the similarities between classical music and origami:
“The crease pattern and diagrams are instructions on a mathematically flat 2D manifold, impossible in the real world, so to fold an origami is to capture it into the real world and add imperfections.”
