Artist Statement:
Papercutting is one of the
oldest art forms, known to be
traced back to around 105 AD,
when paper was invented in
China.
My scissors drawings interwove
multi-cultural stories of folk
tradition and mythology.
Earth, nature and its gods,
along with a long ribbon of
myths are some of the
resources I use in my themes.
I like to give them a modern
appeal and design within my
work.
When I choose a paper, I
usually go by its contents.
Like a sculptor, I vision the
3D aspect of the project: the
artwork already within the
paper. Texture and color have
to correspond with theme and
image. I work mostly with
paper, at times I use copper
or metal sheet.
Two decades ago, I started
cutting bookmarks, which
quickly inspired me to create
large cutouts.
Nowadays papercutting has
become my passion!...
