If Japan happens to be one of the places on your bucket list and you enjoy art inspired by its culture and history, Georgia Low’s creations will be your cup of tea. Her papercut art is as stunning as it gets and it will transport you to the Land of the Rising Sun.
Low is a papercut artist based in North Wales with her partner and their dogs Millie and Miso. She attracted 100,000 followers to her Instagram page with her amazing miniature papercut art, but how did her obsession with this art form start?
“I initially discovered papercutting in 2009 and instantly fell in love with the artistic process and using paper as a medium. I draw my designs in reverse on the back of the paper before cutting it out by hand with my scalpel, this takes hours to complete,” she writes on her official website.
Low was just seven when she moved from London to the beautiful countryside in North Wales. Growing up surrounded by nature significantly impacted the way she approaches art – but this isn’t her only source of inspiration.
Low is also a huge fan of Japanese culture, and she regularly tries to include this theme in her designs. From cherry blossoms, koi fishes, beautiful temples, lotus flowers, and red-crowned cranes, her art often features motifs we associate with this country.
