My Hand-Carved Designs From Paper Inspired By Natural Elements (21 Pics)

ADVERTISEMENT

I am Parth Kothekar from Ahmedabad, India. I started my papercutting journey in 2012 and have been experimenting with and learning from papercuts ever since. To challenge myself, I create thematic paper art series from time to time.

These works are from my solo exhibition, which took place in 2024 at Art and Charlie Gallery. In this show, I showcased how humans are damaging nature to construct their homes. Each artwork is hand-carved using a craft knife and takes a minimum of 20 days to complete.

    To illustrate how construction is damaging natural habitats, I have used various bird nests and incorporated construction elements inside them to show that by building our homes, we are destroying theirs.

    In this series, I have showcased that there is no land left for birds to survive, so they have started living beneath the earth.

    In this artwork, I have depicted a dead tree surrounded by starling birds, whose murmuration creates a pattern resembling a tree.

    Hello Pandas! My name is Ieva, though it's often mistaken for the word 'Leva,' and in Lithuanian, it means 'loser' (insert the pain emoji). While I don't take offense if you accidentally call me a loser, I thought I'd share something interesting with you, which I also do professionally at work.Anywayyy, my favorite part here is introducing you to creative people who deserve just as much recognition as famous celebrities. Besides that, I also enjoy memes and funny, lighthearted posts, and occasionally, I find myself drawn to a bit of internet drama.

    These are beautiful. The loss of wild lands is a tragedy.

    Gorgeous, incredible, and unusual. Each one makes my eyes wander around like I'm taking in a forest. That's unusual for me. Normally I look at art in a quick glance and move on. (I'm not that keen on visual arts, normally.) I know nothing, so I don't have the right words for this, but you seem to almost capture movement and change in these.
