Cutting through space: UAE artist creates vases using laser cutting (Photo)

Using modern technology, paper vases are created by the artist from the UAE Julia Ibbini. With their external fragility, they are quite durable.

The vases are decorated with ornate elements in a natural style. But here you can also trace geometric patterns that refer to the ancient architecture of the country. Rounded roofs of temples, spiral staircases, columns decorated with stone carvings.

First, Julia Ibbini draws the theme of the pattern on paper. Then he composes it into a sketch of the future vase. Along the way, she makes adjustments, referring to specialized literature and other sources.

The next stage is processing the image with a special program. It allows you to see how the vase will look, taking into account the volume and future carving.

Then laser cutting on paper begins. As a rule, the artist uses cream paper for her projects, which is glued from the inside with black cardboard. This allows the finished product to play with light and shadows, catch glare.

Unfortunately, due to the peculiarities of the material of the Julia Ibbini vase, it cannot be used for its intended purpose - to fill with water and put flowers. But they look good as decorative elements in interiors.

The woman is inspired by books and films about the country's history. After reading or viewing them, Julia Ibbini manages to create several vases.
Recently, laser paper carving is not just an artist's hobby.

Working in an architectural studio, she manages to combine it with the creation of new projects. Creative solutions and creativity make themselves felt.
