Sculptures Made Out of a Single Paper Sheet
Peter Callesen (born 1967) is a Danish artist who makes incredibly complex and beautiful sculptures out of a single sheet of paper. He has an exceptional talent in combining the minimalism of a big crisp white sheet of paper with the complexity of meticulously cut and folded paper and uses the two to build out some really beautiful compositions.[1]
“A large part of my work is made from A4 sheets of paper. It is probably the most common and consumed media used for carrying information today. This is why we rarely notice the actual materiality of the A4 paper” says Peter.

Got wisdom to pour?
This is a great way to recycle paper!
The mark of a true artist, a true maniac or both. ;-) Isn’t this so much better a use for creativity than trying to come up with ever more creative ways to kill or hurt or manipulate one another? :-)
Wonderful piece of work
I absolutely LOVE this. How creative can you be! This person is a TRUE artist. I am sending this link to EVERYONE. I am also going to share it on Facebook. Thank you very much. And as for demilked.com, I have never been here before, and I’m going to bookmark it immediately.
amazingly beautiful
Really amazing works, however he is a bit too much obsessed with skeletons
wow some are so detailed, can’t believe it is really possible! I feel so bad about my artistic skills when I see such things.
Amazing!
Wow! I love it!! I would definitely go insane if I had to do something as precise as his skeletons :))
this is what happens when someone has too much free time, but I like it!!!
