Look closely at the work ofPatrick Cabraland you will find endlessly thoughtful details.
As a self-taught artist, Cabral has been refining his paper-cutting techniques for years.
He’s constantly pushing himself to find new and innovative ways to depict a subject.
I like creating work that is difficult to pull off and involves some kind of engineering.
Through his masterful skills, he is able to produce striking effects that make his portraits a mesmerizing sight.
Most of his works depict animals, including lions, hippos, and dragons.
The way in which he transforms their real-life appearance into paper cutout form, however, differs each time.
I find inspiration anywhere, Cabral adds.
Philippines-based artist Patrick Cabral crafts intricate, lace-patterned sculptures of animals.
The mesmerizing 3D portraits look more like digital renderings than paper sculptures.
Cabral is constantly pushing himself to find new and innovative ways to depict a subject.
