Three dimensional designs are the trend these days especially that many designers are able to come up with impressive outputs from computer programs that help them do that. But despite this technological advancement, there are still artists who prefer to do the work by hand yet showing a similar 3D-ness to it or even to the point of looking like a plastic with volume and sleek look. When we say doing it by hand, it is actually done using paper.
Paper art or paper sculpture is not new to us for we have seen a lot of them here. But this one is just different because of how smooth everything looks. Noelia Lozano is a graphic designer and art director from Spain whose work is focused on Paper Cut, CGI and 3D. She sees to it that her paper art have intense colors and shapes while looking tactile to achieve a plastic look.

We know you really think these were done in 3D computer design at first glance because that is what we thought too not until we saw the project descriptions. The works of Noelia Lozano is really impressive since is able to create a voluminous composition from flat materials. But of course, this requires a lot of work too especially that one has to be really meticulous to get the best output.
