Beautiful Paper Sculptures by Calvin Nicholls

Thanks to my manager Happy Song, she introduced me to a new artist: Calvin Nicholls. This Canadian craftsman creates incredibly intricate and realistic paper sculptures. He began experimenting with paper sculptures in the mid-80s and since then has produced more than 500 pieces. Each artwork can take him around four weeks to produce and in some cases have taken up to two years. He says that to begin his process he "works through a series of sketches and decides on the final detail before the sculpture begins." He also credits his surrounding of nature for inspiration.

When completed, each sculpture is carefully lit to showcase the texture and detail that has been so thoughtfully placed in each work.. I still can't believe these creations are made of paper. They truly are mesmerizing
