For the past six years, my partner Nayan and I have delved into the world of paper art, specializing in miniature wildlife artworks. Our latest series focuses on the intricate beauty of three-dimensional paper art, with birds as our primary subjects. Crafted entirely from Papier-Mâché made from my paper art waste, except for the wooden twigs and wire for structural support, each sculpture is a labor-intensive endeavor.
By exploring the realm of three-dimensional paper art, we add depth and dimension to our sculptures, allowing viewers to engage with them on a tactile level.
We hope that our sculptures bring joy and inspiration to all who encounter them.

Every feather is meticulously hand-cut from paper and individually painted to capture the vibrant colors and intricate details of the birds' plumage. Assembling these feathers into lifelike representations requires approximately 30 hours to complete. Even though our sculptures are small, like the 8cm peacock or the 2cm hummingbird, they still capture the special feeling and beauty of real birds.
Our sculptures are a celebration of the diversity and splendor of birds, highlighting their wonderful colors and unique characteristics. Through our art, we aim to evoke a sense of wonder and appreciation for the natural world, inviting viewers to marvel at the intricate beauty of these feathered creatures.
Wow these are beautiful! The amount of time put into these has to be astronomical! I'm sure just cutting the paper takes so much time and patience.
