Creative Paper Art - Paper Cutting Art by Mikito Ozeki



Paper cutting is considered the making of a design of some kind out of paper using small scissors or a knife. Paper cutting has been around for a very long time. In its earliest form, it seems to have originated around the fourth century A. D. after the Chinese invented paper. Naturally, paper cutting was soon to follow. The Chinese used it for religious decorations and as patterns for embroidery. Their designs range from very simple, flat one layer designs to extremely intricate folded, multi-layered creations. 
Here I will show some works of Mikito Ozeki. Mikito Ozeki is a paper cut artist from Nagoya City, Japan. Which makes his works interesting is heavily detailed paper cut outs of what almost look like intergalactic space creatures  in this particular series. Mikito Ozeki gets to work creating paper cutting art with a large sheet of black card—with stunning results. Watch as he cuts out shapes with seemingly, no guide lines t0 aid his paper art.
