Sena Runa is a Lisbon-based artist who transforms paper into wondrous and colorful creations. She creates paper quilling art, she twists, folds, and stack layers of thick paper to create her sculptures. Paper quilling art is considered as a contemporary twist on a technique that’s been around since the Renaissance.
“The Turkish artist uses a wide range of hues to create chromatic elephants with a rainbow of shades, or work all of the brilliant blues of the ocean into a single sea turtle,” according to Colossal. “Runa left the corporate world to make quilled paper works full-time in 2015, and wrote her own book on the topic in 2017.”
Runa shares her work on her Instagram account where she has gathered a following of over 129 thousand people, and has an Etsy store where see sells all of her creations.
