Papercutting is the art of cutting paper designs. The art has evolved uniquely all over the world to adopt to different cultural styles.
Today, we showcase talented artists that create beautiful art by cutting paper.
Paper Art by Aoyama Hina
Beautiful paper art by Aoyama Hina, Japanese artist living in France.
Paper Art by Kako Ueda
Her hand cut paper pieces deal with the notion of nature/culture – how organic beings (insects, animals, human bodies) are made from nature but constantly influenced and affected by culture.
Paper Art by Bovey Lee
Bovey’s paper cutout drawings seek to preserve, promote, and extend an ancient Chinese folk art through invention by adding personal and contemporary elements.

I highly recommend checking out Miami artist Jen Stark’s work. She’s quickly rising the art world ranks.
In my opinion better than anything above.

This is so inspiring. I love the detail it makes it look so delicate and complex but beautiful. It really is amazing the amount of patient they have. I am doing something similar for my GCSE’s art final piece and just don’t seem to have enough patient. It is always going to wrong or the paper is too thin and is ripping, it is so frustrating. I think it is truly incredible that this art work looks so complex but is only made using a piece of paper and a knife. I totally respect all of them. However I particularly like Aoyama Hina’s work as I like her subject choices. I am actually studying her as choice for inspiration for my art work. Amazing and beautiful, I hugely congratulate all of the artists that work in the amazing art of paper cutting.
