PAPER CUT-OUTS

The paper cut-outs that I make, are based on all kind of birds. From a young age I have always thought that animals are a grateful subject for art. Especially birds. I've immersed myself in their way of life, origin, anatomy and the role they play in art.

​

The paper cut-outs are cut with different kind of knives (scalpels) to display the most accurate image of the bird I want to expose.

The choice of paper is very important depending on the composition and size. Paper is brutal in its simplicity. It is light and versatile.

​

The color of the paper is essential and helps to capture the emotion in the final result. I usually choose natural colors, like different shades of brown & grey tones. Every once in a while I choose to use gold or silver paper, depending on the kind of bird I want to make.
