I Decided To Make Paper Cut Art My Profession

584

ADVERTISEMENT

I am Parth Kothekar, a paper cut artist from Ahmedabad (India). It was during my experiments with graffiti stencils that the idea of papercuts came to my mind, then I began by creating the unique designs in inverse fashion.

This unique art form made me feel more connected to my work. I felt the ‘life’ in these works of art. Initially, I did this only as a hobby, but the inspiration from my close friends made me consider paper art as a profession.

My beautiful artworks are based on everyday aspects of life. If it is challenging, it motivates me. The thing with papercuts is that one doesn’t know the final output until the end. I have an assumption when picking out a sheet of paper on what it might look and that is what I work with. It is the curiosity of finding out if I have got it that keeps me going.
