Dimensionally Folded Illustrations

Marcelo Daldoce's Rippled Artwork Plays With Perception

— July 18, 2014 — Art & Design
Playing with both proportion and a viewer's perception, these folded artworks by Marcelo Daldoce are visually striking and sculptural in their aesthetic. The illustrator's work "focuses on the terrain beyond the conventional two-dimensional landscape of paper and canvas."

When creating his pieces, the artist aims to bring life to flat surfaces and to twist his viewer's mind with images that make one question reality and illusion. Marcelo Daldoce's art is both visually bold and thought-provoking thanks to his painted and 3D manipulation techniques that make his paintings stand apart.

The artist mixes painted images of human subjects with architectural paper folds that add a multi-dimensional element to each of his unique compositions. Furthermore, these folds mean that no two of his pieces are alike.
Trend Themes
1. Multi-dimensional Artwork - Artists can experiment with paper folding techniques to create multi-dimensional artwork that pushes the boundaries of traditional 2D landscapes.
2. 3D Manipulation Techniques - Artists can use painted and 3D manipulation techniques to create thought-provoking paintings that challenge perception and reality.
3. Visually Striking Compositions - Artists can create visually bold compositions that mix painted images with architectural paper folds to create unique and thought-provoking artwork.
Industry Implications
1. Art and Design - Artists and designers can experiment with paper folding and 3D manipulation techniques to create innovative and unique artwork.
2. Home Decor - Home decor companies can incorporate multi-dimensional artwork into their products to add visual interest and uniqueness to their designs.
3. Advertising and Marketing - Ad agencies and marketing firms can use visually striking artwork to create eye-catching campaigns that capture attention and leave a lasting impression.
