12 Paper Artworks By Aurelie Cerise

COMPILED BY Lindi Brownell Meiring

Paris-based paper artist Aurelie Cerise creates colourful 3D paper artworks of food, flowers and everything in between.

She started constructing pieces from paper as a means to distract from the chaos of her daily life, working as a pharmacist. “When I cut paper, it helps me to calm and focus,” she wrote on Instagram. “My favourite part is the process of cutting and building. It can takes hours and I sometimes feel a little bit nostalgic when I finish one. If someone had told me that one day I would become a paper designer, I would have laughed. It’s been 6 months since I left my corporate career, I work hard and I learn every day. Never, never lose your dreams.”

We picked 12 of our favourites from Aurelie’s beautiful curated Instagram feed for you to browse.

My kind of creative sunday #whpinthestudio You know my love for paper craft. In my studio, i always keep preciously all the shapes i cut. Even the tinest. They are my treasures. When i cut paper, it helps me to calm and focus, my favorite part is the process of cutting And building. It can takes hours and I sometimes feel a little bit nostalgic when i finish one. I’ve cut these autumn leaves these days. ?? vous connaissez mon amour pour le papier. Dans mon bureau, Je garde précieusement toutes les formes que je crée, parfois même les plus petites. Quand je crée et coupe, cela m’aide à m’apaiser, mon étape favorite reste le découpage et la construction. Cela peut parfois prendre plusieurs heures Et je me sens toujours un peu nostalgique lorsque j’ai terminé une forme. Ces derniers jours, j’ai coupé ces feuilles d’automne . J’aime l’ensemble de couleurs qu’elles créent .
