Cassiopea: A Symphony of Loyal Colors

​A vibrant tribute to companionship, brought to life through the meticulous layering of 7mm paper strips.

​"Cassiopea" is more than a portrait; it is an emotional exploration of the soulful essence of a dog. Named after the constellation, this piece shines with a spectrum of bold colors, capturing the spark of life and the unwavering loyalty found in our animal companions. It is a celebration of movement, personality, and the artistry of paper.

​The Precision of 7mm

​In this 30×40 cm masterpiece, the entire composition is engineered using exclusively 7mm paper strips. By placing these strips on-edge with surgical precision, I have transformed a flat portrait into a high-relief landscape of texture and light.

• ​Soulful Details: The eyes and features are crafted with intricate paper coils and curves, ensuring that the "gaze" of Cassiopea follows the viewer, filled with warmth and emotion.
• ​Textural Fur: Every "stroke" of paper is hand-placed to mimic the natural flow of fur, creating a sense of movement that feels almost alive under the right lighting.
• ​Explosion of Contrast: The use of vibrant, contrasting colors serves to highlight the dynamic personality of the subject, making the artwork a bold centerpiece for any space.

Preservation & Display

• ​Shadow Box Protection: To preserve the delicate 7mm vertical strips and the intricate details, the artwork is professionally housed in a wooden shadow box frame.
• ​Light & Life: This piece is designed to interact with its environment. Directional lighting will accentuate the high-relief layers, casting soft shadows that enhance the 3D depth of the portrait.
• ​A Unique Legacy: Hand-crafted with thousands of individual paper placements, "Cassiopea" is a singular work of art that represents the peak of contemporary paper strip techniques.
