French Artist Creates Incredible Paper Art

Have you ever wondered what you would do if you simply got up and left your current job? Aurelie Cerise did just that. The Paris-based pharmacist couldn’t imagine that one day she would become a set and paper designer. But now, she creates captivating 3D artworks from paper full time, proving that sometimes leaving the corporate world and chasing your dream isn’t a bad idea.

Cerise started her journey as a paper designer by cutting paper as a way to increase calmness and focus. Today, she is a popular designer with a large Instagram following and has so far collaborated with many renowned brands, including Kenzo, L’Oreal, Dior, Microsoft, Apple, Citroen, and Nissan.

Cerise’s paper artworks can take you back to your childhood years when you carelessly played with origami. Her style colorful and vibrant, but also – minimalistic. She creates paper flowers, animals, insects, fresh produce, gems, and many other paper delights, placing them in minimalistic settings and then photographing them.  

Aside from her collaborations with brands, the French artist also works as a set designer and creates paper art installations. Take a look at some of her work below.
