Alexei Lyapunov and Lena Ehrlich

Alexei Lyapunov and Lena Ehrlich are two Russians  from Novosibirsk. Both work together to make complex scenes from colored paper from celebrities to every day people. Their artwork shows how much patience they have, due to each detail to each figure. Also, the scenes can also show their sense of humor, due what is going on in their settings. Their art work is very unique, not just because of their 3-D paper models, but also what they make out of the sceneries. A lot of their pieces show the movement that is going on in the picture they had tried to capture, to make it look more realistic. Each one of their paper-figures illustrates it's own unique story which can happen in an everyday life, or even in our imaginations.  The choice to make them colorful is something what I like the most, and this is what makes those figures look more entertaining.

The process in which they make the paper work takes quite a long time. At first, they find a model or picture of which they can get an inspiration for their own works. At first, they draw out many sketches of each figure many times. Then they take colored paper, and cut out the figures with exacto-knives and scissors and many other tools to keep the papers together.
