Juliana Bollini: paper art
There are masters who create real miracles from the simplest materials. One of such artists is Juliana Bollini, whose works attract attention and give joy. She was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Here she also studied fine arts. Later she moved to São Paulo, where she found her unique style, combining elements of modelling and cut-outs on paper.
Juliana Bollini began her artistic journey in the 1990s, when paper and scraps became not just materials, but real tools for her to realise her fantasies. She uses mixed techniques that allow her to create three-dimensional and detailed works. The princesses, magicians and musicians created by Juliana Bollini seem to come to life before our eyes, conveying the atmosphere of fairy tales and magic.
One of the significant events in Juliana Bollini's career was her participation in the Internazionale dell'Illustrazione per l'Infanzia International Art Exhibition in Sarmede, Italy in 2012. Her work was highly appreciated and the illustrated book was ranked among the 30 best children's books by Grow magazine. This recognition was an important milestone in the development of her work and confirmed the uniqueness of her approach to paper art.
The papier-mâché dolls created by Juliana Bollini deserve special attention. These cute and unpretentious characters give a sense of joy and simplicity that is so often missing in our everyday world. They are created using wire and newspaper, which are then coloured with gouache and acrylics. The process of creating such dolls requires a lot of patience and dedication, but the result is worth all the effort. Each doll has its own unique personality and character, which makes them ideal characters for animated films.
Juliana Bollini dolls are not only pleasing to the eye, but also inspire creativity. They remind us that even the simplest of materials can be used to create something unique, if you approach it with love and imagination. Her papier-mâché puppets could easily qualify for starring roles in an adventurous adventure comedy, for in each of them lives the spirit of adventure and fun.
Juliana Bollini's works are not just paper figures, but a whole world filled with magic and joy. She shows us that creativity knows no limits. Her work inspires us and gives us the opportunity to believe in fairy tales again.
