Papièrissimi








"(French forchewed-up paper' because of its appearance), sometimes called paper-maché, is a construction material that consists of pieces of paper, sometimes reinforced with textiles, stuck together using a wet paste."



  


"Contemporary sculpture is the art of conceiving a three-dimensional artwork . Thus, scores of sculptors spend years learning ancient sculpting techniques and learning to express their own artistic sculpture ideas and visions through wood, stone metal, and plaster. The process of sculpting is without doubt a long and complicated one. There are many steps involved in creating the final three dimensional figures that gets exhibited and displayed. There are higher learning programs that are devoted to teaching the art of sculpting. Nonetheless, many great sculptors are self-taught using the same and effective methods that the great sculptors throughout history used. "



 The artist believed that the  paper mache technique can  go beyond its simple meaning  as “paper mache”  by combining its technique with  sculpting,  the art of handmade paper sculpting.  All by instinct imagination   deliberately she does  her art by hand.  Basically moulding  pieces of used paper materials together, combining  with  other materials mainly used  objects bottles , cans  etc...   fixing it with wet paste  layers  by layers of  paper ,  a tedious slow phase technique  attaining  its work,  then  cementing all together  with this  water based glue  , and finally with her  final touch of  a pastel painting and varnish, realizes her art into a masterpiece of work.



"Thus… “Papierissimi”  paper sculpting as an art form can now be  defined to be a class of fine art...

Being a sculptor with great sculpture ideas means becoming a part of that grand tradition..."
