Paper-Made Food Sculptures

Spanish Artist Brings Colorful Groceries to Life Using Paper

— January 22, 2014 — Art & Design
Spanish visual artist, illustrator and photographer Maria Laura Benavente brings our grocery list to life with her life-like 3D paper craft design creations.

The paper craft designs are so real and so vibrant that you want to set them up as decor on your kitchen counter instead of the real less-perfect produce and deli supplies you find in supermarket aisles. Having made these delightful designs for clients, Benavente's simple almost childlike details make the sculptures all the more fun and dynamic.

Maybe supermarkets should take a hint and start using edible and hunger-inducing sculptures as icons or symbols for each aisle to make the shopping experience more pleasurable, and to give something for kids to marvel over. These paper craft designs could also be used for real estate showings to give the kitchen counter a pop of color and a homier feel.
