Artist's Statement

As artists deeply inspired by the wild, we create miniature paper sculptures that celebrate the breathtaking diversity of Earth's wildlife; one tiny cut at a time. Over the past eight years, we have created more than 1,500 miniature artworks, each layered with 20+ cuts of archival paper and detailed with watercolours to capture the soul of each creature.

Our art is not just about precision or beauty; it's a call to look closer. At a time when many species are disappearing faster than they're discovered, we want to hold space for their stories. From vibrant parrots to elusive amphibians, our creations aim to spark curiosity, admiration, and a deeper sense of care for the natural world.

Working from our home studio in India, we bring together the fine details of wildlife observation with a constantly evolving paper technique. Through "The Paper Ark, we hope to build a bridge between people and nature, where even the smallest artwork can carry the weight of a powerful message.

We believe that art can make you fall in love with what you may never see in person. And when you fall in love with something, you fight to protect it.
