Jupi’s Art of Paper Cutting
Website

I am a self-taught artist working in this medium – “Paper” since 1999. I made up the theme “The Art of Paper Cutting” because I liked how it sounded quite simple, and it really is what I do. I’ve decided to work on this medium to give a new life to this old form of artwork.
The Art of Paper Cutting is a process of hand cutting a single piece of paper and turning them into a beautiful design is the soul of my work. Along with the nature, different themes from different cultures, their elements, animal, and people, influence the theme of my work; that has been blended with the elements of my own Indian heritage and culture. It inspires the gentle curves, smooth transitions and defined line found in my work. All the designs in my work are my creation.
Using very simple tools, such as knives and scissors, each piece is created very tastefully, ensuring the highest quality and excellence of design. No commercial reproduction technique is used in my work. Each piece is 100% hand cut, so it’s unique and one of a kind. I use archival materials from start to finish and mount them three dimensionally. Hand painted accents make my work even more interesting to me.

The theme of my artwork captures the beauty of the simplest of objects as well as that of larger landscapes and other natural elements. I am passionate about the endless possibilities this medium provides and I am always experimenting with new ways to make the result even better. I’ve found my passion in this medium that takes my mind to a transcendental state when I am working which gives me complete satisfaction. It’s a journey that keeps getting better.

It is my hope that others will see the influence of different cultural elements in my artwork and realize the connection between a dying art and my creativity and enjoying it visually. I create, so that the energy and the enthusiasm that I put into each piece will bring as much joy to people as the process of creating them brings joy to my life.

As a full-time artist my goal is to breathe life into this art and inspire others to create. Life is too short; my dream would be to continue to create artwork for this world to enjoy now and to preserve the artwork for the future.
