The Rise of Cardboard Art: Beauty in the Ordinary

Finding Beauty in the Ordinary: My Journey with Cardboard Art


As an artist, I've always been fascinated by the overlooked. When I first picked up a piece of discarded cardboard, I saw more than packaging – I saw potential. This journey led me to create HiPosterShop, where I share my cardboard artworks with those who appreciate the extraordinary in the everyday.

In this piece, I explored the interplay between light and shadow. By carefully cutting and layering the cardboard, I created depth that shifts throughout the day as natural light moves across its surface.

This composition emerged from my fascination with geometric patterns. Each cut and fold represents a meditation on form, revealing how simple shapes can create complex visual rhythms.

Blue Cardboard

Color has always been a powerful tool in my work. With this piece, I wanted to challenge perceptions of cardboard as a brown, utilitarian material. The bold blue transforms it into something unexpected and vibrant.

My Creative Process

Each piece begins with exploration. I spend time handling the cardboard, understanding its unique properties, and letting it guide my creative decisions. Sometimes, a simple fold suggests an entire composition. Other times, the texture of the corrugation inspires a pattern that becomes central to the work.

Working with cardboard has taught me patience. Each cut must be precise, each layer thoughtfully considered. The material can be both forgiving and challenging – it's this duality that continues to captivate me.

Looking Forward

As I continue exploring this medium, I'm excited by its possibilities. Each piece teaches me something new about form, texture, and the beauty of transformation. I invite you to explore my complete collection and join me on this artistic journey.
