Maria Laura Benavente is a talented Spanish craft artist that creates some of the most impressive paper sculptures you’ll see on the internet. Her works are realistic and detailed but also colorful and cartoonish in a way that adds to their appeal.
Benavente doesn’t limit her paper art to just one subject. She creates everything from food items to household objects and sometimes even entire scenes.
For example, in one of her pieces, this talented Canary Islands-based artist recreated a scene depicting an idyllic forest landscape in the fall. It includes colorful leaves, mushrooms, and even a fitting tree trunk on the ground.
In another artwork, Benavente recreated all the necessary items for a great night at the movies. This included a bag of popcorn, some candy, drinks, and 3D glasses.
Besides crafting paper sculptures, this Fine Arts graduate is also engaged in various other creative endeavors, including photography, illustrations, and design.
“As each project presents its own unique challenges, I ensure that each is tackled with innovative solutions by combining the different disciplines I work with, which is what makes my work so diverse and multifaceted,” she shares on her website.
