Madrid-based full time musician Gonzalo Garcia Calvo has amazing origami skills. He explores many themes, but his true passion is animals.
Gonzalo usually uses only one sheet of paper to create his intricate pieces. Even though there are exceptions (for example, the T-Rex skeleton required 21 squares of 8x8cm newspaper), it's amazing to see, that a person is able to transform a flat piece of paper into a lifelike three-dimensional animal.

Very strong work in its entirety, but this is not origami, is a very beautiful kind of paper sculpture.

This one is especially amazing because it has been made of paper with words on it. That really helps the illusions that the dragon came directly from a book.

Wow the shadow is very realistic. I'd scream if I didn't see the origami one too.

Tree frogs are one of my favorite animals. This one I'd love to buy and display.

He's so good he could probably make you organize gnats to feed to it.

The posing and shadows make it seem so curious! Like it's waiting for something just off-screen

Not even sure what I like most, the amazing designs, or the brilliant way they're photographed, bringing out the best in each one.

This guy is an amazing folder, but you shoukd publish the designer's names of those models: Román Díaz, Satoshi Kamiya, etc. They are published in books and it could be interesting information.

I bet it's like a peaceful zone when he starts making one of his origami's.... seems that way to me anyway :)

I know that paper tends to deteriorate over time and change color. Would it happen to these or would you think they are durable?
