Curved Paper Sculptures

Sena Runa Created Mickey Mouse Art Using Twists of Colorful Paper

— August 17, 2015 — Art & Design
Turkish artist Sena Runa created an adorable Mickey Mouse piece of artwork using a variety of curved paper pieces, which range in size and color. This talented artist has created numerous pieces of curved paper artworks that go beyond Mickey Mouse.

Her collection ranges from adorable animals to creative musical instruments and technology pieces -- like an old-school video camera. While the pieces vary in subject matter, they all hold a consistent connection with the material they are made with. Every piece of art is made entirely of tiny twisted shreds of paper arranged in particular patterns to create physical handheld designs.

The actual technique used by this artist is called "quilling." Her pieces of artistically quilled paper can be found across her social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram and Etsy.
