Award-winning artist and illustrator Melinda Fabian creates mesmerizing 3-D animals from paper. Her art looks incredibly realistic thanks to her talent for making details like feathers and fur.
“Melinda’s signature art features paper sculpture designs, which combine watercolor and gouache illustrations and three-dimensional hand-sculpted paper elements into one-of-a-kind art pieces. These new designs literally jump off the page, causing viewers to do a double take upon realizing they’re not just flat paintings,” we read on her website.
Fabian’s story is not all bright. She used to make watercolor art until she found out she had cancer, which made her lose motivation. However, despite not being able to continue with watercolor art, she gave new art forms a chance in an attempt to turn her attention to positive things. That’s how she discovered paper art and below are some of her works.
