Unique style of paper art Carlos Meira

The tireless directors of WORMS, Paolo Conti and Arthur Nunes are thinking about the possibility of opening their film with another technique of Stop Motion: Paper Animation! For this experiment, they invited none other than the expert Carlos Meira - a disciple of the legendary Leo Monahan, he has been dedicated to this delicate technique of paper sculpture for many years.. Small children and grown ups, come early to the movie theater: the film promises to be amazing from the very beginning!

“Born in Rio de Janeiro, Carlos Meira’s artistic endeavour began when he joined the printmaking course at the School of Fine Arts at Federal University of Rio de Janeiro.

In early 1990, Carlos moved to Portugal where he developed his unique style of paper sculpture. He returned to Brazil in 1996 and settled in Florianopolis where he further strengthened his illustration side. He has held six solo exhibitions and illustrated several books since then.

Carlos Meira has now devoted himself to illustration and paper sculpture having worked as an artist, designer and art director within the advertising industry.

 

Art paper from Jeff Nishinaka - paper sculptures

Nishinaka carves and pinches paper to create intricate paper sculptures. The 52-year-old Los Angeles based illustrator and sculptor has been refining his paper craft since 1982. Taking anywhere from three days to four months to produce, Jeff's detailed pieces range from 8in by 8in to 20 feet tall and 20 feet wide Jeff Nishinaka cuts and crushes the paper with an enviable skill to create exquisite paper sculptures. 52-year-old illustrator and sculptor from Los Angeles creates his work from 1982. The stunning elegance of Jeff Nishinaka’s paper art calls for a new definition of paper. His meticulous sculptural 3D work appears to have been created from marble or extremely fine sand or vanilla ice cream or thick foam — definitely of something other than “just” paper. The Los Angeles-born artist works mainly with white, which makes the exquisite play of light and shadow a large part of the appeal of his work.

Amazing model titanic - the little paper figure

It’s hardly believable that the paper can be used for making the astonishing RMS Titanic model except the little paper figures.

 titanic


The incredible Titanic paper craft is created by a Russian ship enthusiast who goes by the name of Henschel. He spent totally two and a half years for the paper model. The RMS Titanic model is primarily made of drawing papers, and moreover, yarns, fishing lines and wires are also used to improve the construction of the paper craft. The surface of the ship model are covered over waterproof varnish to keep the ship from water introduction. Apart from these, the creator added some electrical gadgets for the illumination of the ship such as the small bulbs and LEDs powered by a 6V battery at the bottom of the deck. And the rudder can be controlled by remote control. I think that would be more perfect if Henschel could put a little engine in the Titanic.
