]]>Born in France and now based in sunny Los Angeles, Fleury is an illustrator, prop stylist, and paper artist. A true color lover if we’ve ever seen one, she’s known for her eye-popping paper vignettes and three-dimensional paper sculptures. “I like to transform bright and flat sheets of paper into three-dimensional illustrations and displays,” said Fleury in an interview with Refinery29.
Describing her work as “colorful and fun”, she admits to letting color guide her when it comes to her playful creations. “Colors make me happy,” says Fleury. “I really love all the colors and it really depends on my mood. Some days I am more blue, some I am more pink or orange. Let’s just say I am really into neon colors lately—and turquoise!”
Her second great love is arts and crafts, or more specifically: making things with her own hands. “I’ve always loved making things with my hands,” she shared. “Later, I discovered stop-motion animation, and the part I loved the most in the process of making a short movie was to create the decors and little worlds.
Her projects can last anything between a day or two, and up to a full month for a short animation piece. Choosing the right materials is also important in Fleury’s line of work. “I’ve spent a lot of time finding the paper that I like, that is not too thick or too thin, easy to fold and curve,” she notes. “Same goes for the tools I use and the glue. It is important for me to use materials I feel comfortable with in order to be more detailed in my work. I am very meticulous.”

]]>Inspired by her love of plants and animals, Elaine’s creations reflect her fascination with the shapes, lines, colors, and movement found in nature. Using no template or prior sketching, Elaine hand-cuts her designs into the layers of wrapping tissue paper. She then gently applies and seals her designs onto heavy hot press watercolor paper.
“I’m drawn to the bold contrast between the saturated colors of the tissue paper and the bright white background upon which they are adhered,” she notes on her website. With many of her pieces containing intricate hand-cut designs, completing one single piece can take Elaine anywhere from a few hours to a few days.
“Because I don’t draw my designs before cutting them, sometimes it can take a few tries to create the perfect shape or form that I’m looking for, whether it be a flower, insect, or giraffe.”
According to Elaine, she often has only a vague idea of what she wants to make when, which means that sometimes the end result is vastly different from what she originally had in mind.
“My love of animals and color is unabashedly on display in my pieces,” she adds. “And I hope they bring you as much joy when you view them as it brings me to create them.”

]]>Based in Amsterdam, the two first met at the Royal Academy of Arts, where they first joined hands (and hearts). Since graduating in 2012, the duo has worked alongside a talented team of designers and crafters to produce stunning creative content, collaborating with a wide range of brands and agencies. Their selected clientele includes publications and brands as big as ELLE, Vogue, Clinique, and Adobe.
“We studied together, and helped each other with our art projects,” they recalled in an interview with Medium. “Our working together during the study blossomed into a relationship, which grew into a working collaboration. So actually, in a way, we have been working together since we met.”
Besides their love for crafting paper the couple also sporadically works with a wide range of other materials including styrofoam, plexiglass, miniatures, and wood. But no matter the material, the end result is always something unique and well made. “Every project has its own challenges,” say Adrian & Gidi. “When we are working with unfamiliar materials, and tight deadlines it can be challenging to get good results in limited time. But till now, we have seemed to manage.”
And when it comes to inspiration, they seem to come by plenty of it in their day-to-day. “We love going to the paper shop, the shear amount of colors and textures are a big inspiration,” they note
“Design wise we get a lot of inspiration from our daily lives. For instance, when working on miniature architecture we get a lot of inspiration from the old buildings here in Amsterdam. You notice all the little details, and everything around you turns into miniature sets in your head.”
The internet also provides them with endless sources of inspiration. Take a look at some of their stunning results in the gallery below.

]]>Jhaveri reveals on his website that paper has been part of his artistic endeavors since his early childhood when he enjoyed making paper models. After graduating from Mumbai’s Sir. J. J. Institute of Applied Arts, he remained faithful to the material due to its ability to be “forgiving and versatile”.
The entries in the “Zodiac” series belong to some of his most intriguing works, considering how much effort was put into creating them.
Jhaveri made sure that each element of the art reflects its Zodiac sign in a way. This included using particular colors to capture the traits of the signs, styling the background to illustrate their elements, etching the commonly accepted symbols, and much more.
“The ‘Zodiac’ series of paper art is an outcome of my fascination with how the celestial bodies to influence and shape our traits and lives,” the artist explains.

]]>“Organizing chaos is the main task of any collage artists,” he remarked once in an interview with Another Fine Mess. “From millions of possible images (a universe of chaos), we decide to use only a few and combine them in a particular way to make our discourse visible through them.” Tuja defines collage artists in somewhat poetic language, describing them as “editors of reality and builders of new worlds”. “We are twisting the world we know to make a new one come to life,” he says.
Originally from Buenos Aires, since 2002 he lives and works from Barcelona, but his work has reached further than that, showcased in galleries in Barcelona, London, Madrid, New York, Tokyo, Berlin, Rotterdam, Rome, and Lima, to name a few. He has also collaborated with brands as big as Nike, Wired Magazine, Spotify, and Universal Pictures.
Aside from his commercial work, Tuja is also a founding member and director of The Weird Show, showcasing in exhibitions, internet and printed matter the most outstanding contemporary collage worldwide.
Here are some highlights from his Instagram page:

]]>According to the Philippines-based artist, his aim with this series is to educate the public about the plight of at-risk animals. Supported by the philanthropic organization Acts of Kindness, and World Wildlife Fund Philippines, a portion of the sales from this collection has gone towards supporting nature preservations in the Philippines.
But Cabral’s creative talent isn’t only restricted to paper. A multi-disciplinary designer and type artist, his practice also includes calligraphy, sculpting, web designing, and even app development. According to his bio, by the mere age of 11, Cabral had taken the odd job of writing the names of graduating students’ high school diplomas.
“I don’t know what to call myself,” he admitted once in an interview with spot.ph. “And I don’t really care about labels.” Whatever his label is, we’re digging it.

]]>According to Herrera, her work is a way of bridging the gap between man and nature, repairing this broken relationship by reproducing its elements in paper form. Her sculptures portray the ideal state of a thing and also act like a model of representation of a reality that doesn’t suffer any change. Her work is, therefore, is also an act of resistance against the passage of time.
“When I started to work with paper, I was developing very structural elements,” she told My Modern Met, relaying her creative process. “I used to have a lot of strips of paper that I used to cut and glue to form a volume.” According to Herrera, this process is very flexible, as almost any shape can be created with paper. “I spend a lot of hours collecting images of the subject in different positions,” she says, “then I do some reading to find the right measurements.”
According to her personal website, her interest in economic materials (mainly paper, but also wire, cardboard, and plastic), is based on their potential of transformation. Much like patterns found in nature, her sculptures comprehend massive groups of elements that together compose a major complex system.

]]>Having studied Graphic Design for five years, she worked for four years as a junior art director and paper artist based between Montreal, Paris, and London. In 2015, Bee moved to Berlin, where she launched her own creative studio, sharing one space with fashion designers and illustrators alike.
At my desk, looking forward to have a bigger studio, start to have no more space free anywhere here “After making some 2D paper-cut illustrations for myself and some friends, a guy in Brussels asked me to build some paper bird-head masks for his art project,” she further relayed in an interview with Sixtysix Magazine. “I accepted and decided to see how it would go, but I knew already I had a good vision for size and volume. It worked out really well, and I got a lot of positive feedback.”
After this first successful job with paper, Bee went on to accept a few other projects and started to build a portfolio. When she had enough work samples, she applied for a position at a creative studio in London, which looked for paper prop makers. “That was my chance,” says Bee. “I was quickly hired and from there it became official: I could make a living out of this.”
Her work includes anything from miniature potted plants to a giant bottle of Champagne – all entirely made of paper. Here are some highlights from her feed:

]]>“What I like about paper is its flexibility,” said Vantours in an interview with Jung Katz. “I’ve worked with paper for a long time and there is always a new way to use it. It’s a material which offers many textures, aspects, and colors, and I like to mix all these possibilities.”
Her work includes some research beforehand, testing samples and shapes. “The inspiration can come from anything,” says Vantours, “an exhibition, a book, an advert. I try to vary my trend inspirations because I want to propose something new for every project, to try something I’ve never done. I do lots of research, samples and try more complicated shapes, new graphic designs, colors or materials to find new orientations.”
And while each project is unique in its own way, her creative process tends to stay the same. “I have four steps in my work process,” she notes. “The first one is to find the concept, an idea. Second, to create the graphic design. Third, choose the color matchings. Then the last step is the production in paper and volume.” The finished product can take anything from three days to three months to complete.

New workshop alert “Some of the best gardens I’ve ever seen are in Capitol Hill,” she relayed in an interview with Ballpitmag. “I also have easy access to the National Botanic Garden, the Arboretum and I have family in Pennsylvania where I can go to Longwood Gardens a few times a year. Seeing a flower in real life is what triggers my creativity and desire to recreate it in paper.”
It’s this desire which first sparked her interest in paper art. A self-taught artist through and through, it was mere chance that introduced her to her craft. “I had seen paper flowers sporadically online and thought it might be a fun thing to try,” explained Paluska on her website. “I had no idea what I was doing but I sat on the floor of my bedroom watching videos and looking at pictures of plants, learning as I went.”
“After being a lifetime appreciator of the arts, I never considered myself an artist,” she admitted. “I used to think an artist was only someone that could paint or draw. I know now that couldn’t be farther from the truth. The creative world is vast and there is room for everyone.”
Scrolling through her paper gardens might just inspire you to grab a pair of scissors and get to work!
