Paper-Cut Illustrations with a Relief-Sculpture Feel

Maëlle Doliveux

Last week, I shared paper-craft­ed illus­tra­tions by Estu­dio Guard­a­bosques and this week it’s the hand­i­work of Maëlle Doliveux. The New York-based cre­ative sculpts paper into edi­to­r­i­al illus­tra­tions for clients like Newsweek and the Boston Globe. But real­ly, our enjoy­ment does­n’t hinge on the fact that these are pro­fes­sion­al assign­ments. She’s made inter­est­ing and beau­ti­ful images that stand on their own as art­works. I espe­cial­ly like how Maëlle uses light to add dra­ma and enhance the cuts that she’s made in the paper. It gives them a nice 3D feel — like a relief sculpture.
