The art of paper cutting has long existed in China and Japan. Folding, cutting, collage… Many contemporary artists and creators of many fields use paper as a starting material in an astonishing way. These creatives are ingenious at creating illustrations, sculptures, typography, paintings using only paper as a material.
In Denmark, Li-Yu Lin, who happens to work for LEGO group, spends his free time shaping small paper worlds (a.k.a. dioramas). His compositions look like 3D images with a polygonal style but these small sculptures are made entirely of paper. With great care and patience, Li-Yu Lin imagines and creates adorable mini-sets: from a Viking island to a princess castle or a dragon mountain, his works show great imagination and talent.
