Canadian creates multi-layered paper sculptures

Calvin Nicholls is the author of amazingly realistic paper sculptures. His multi-layer images of animals and birds seem to break out of the plane of the picture. But, despite the fact that he often works with paper, he manages to give his work enormous vitality.

Calvin Nicholls creates a sense of life and realism with countless paper ribbons that turn into fur and feathers. So get real three-dimensional sculptures.

To achieve relefnosi, the artist first works on creating a drawing. He uses it as a future framework. In work uses scalpels and scissors of different sizes. After that, Calvin Nicholls neatly cuts the paper and folds the trimmings.

Work on one paper sculpture can drag on for up to several weeks. It all depends on the complexity and scale of the work. Some of his paintings reach 2 meters in height. Although their thickness rarely exceeds 10 cm.

“Difficult work rarely bears fruit instantly, but my perseverance played into my hands. Confidence in their work and modesty in relation to personal creativity were also a good formula. I also always watch other successful artists, tracking trends in the competitive art world. It’s not easy, but I really like what I do,” says the sculptor.
