"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.
Over a decade ago, I started cutting bookmarks, which quickly inspired me to create large cutouts.
Papercutting is my passion!"
