Manila-based creative director Patrick Cabral began his Delicate Papercuts series in 2016. His aim was to experiment and develop new techniques in the age-old art of paper cutting. Working with layers of vellum board and watercolor paper, Cabral creates stunningly intricate artworks that range from stunning portraits to intricate typography.
2016 年，马尼拉创意总监 Patrick Cabral 开始创作名为《Delicate Papercuts》系列的精致剪纸。他的愿望是从古老的剪纸艺术中探索和研究出新的创作技艺。Patrick 通过薄纸板和水彩纸的层叠，创造出肖像或艺术字体剪纸等令人惊艳的精致艺术品。
In 2017, Cabral launched a special series in collaboration with the World Wide Fund for Nature and Acts of Kindness, extending his original project to include some of the faces of the world’s most endangered animals. Many of the animals in his Endangered Species series are native to Asia, including tigers, pangolins, elephants, dholes, tamaraws, rhinoceroses, snow leopards, and pandas. Upon completing the series, Cabral happily remarked that the star of his final portrait, the panda, was no longer listed as an endangered species as of 2017.
