THE BEAUTY OF PAPER ART

I consider myself to be a one-trick pony when it comes to art mediums. I love paint and canvas. But I ALWAYS appreciate artists who focus their work using anything but the "norm".

The times when paper was considered to be the primary medium for artistic expression is long gone. Many writers and designers use digital media to improvise and develop their ideas. However, there is something particular in this “physical” canvas — something that keeps us getting back to paper when we want to brainstorm ideas in a notebook, doodle around in a sketchbook, collect inspiration in a scrapbook or just draw some sketches for the next project.

In fact, paper is even more powerful than that. It is a very flexible medium. You can not only create a sharp-edged paper plane or ship, but also form twisted curves of nature or complicated geometrical shapes. I found some examples of artwork made out of paper... there were too many beautiful ones not to include in this post...
