You are probably already familiar with the works of talented Indian papercut artist Parth Kothekar. We already presented some of his creations in the past, and you liked them very much. This is why we decided to follow up on that with a showcase of his newest series.
Kothekar’s previous works were focused on intricate details, complex patterns, and lace-like designs. This time, he decided to go one step further and use his paper-cutting skills to create a series of optical illusions.
Using just a knife and a single sheet of white paper, Kothekar manages to create impressive pieces that play tricks on viewers’ eyes. Carefully placed cuts and folds provide depth to the works, making his works look three-dimensional.
Kothekar started his creative journey in 2010 when he abandoned “conventional studies” to pursue an art career. After exploring various art forms, he discovered that paper art is something he feels most passionate about. In 2013, he had his first exhibit, and the success of the showcase solidified his decision that art is something he wants to do in life.
Since then, this talented artist has exhibited in galleries around the world, while his works were also featured in high-profile books and magazines.
Describing his work, Kothekar says that “his paper takes are unique with each exploration as he believes in experimenting and exploring different kinds of techniques to challenge and improve himself and his work.”
