How many times have we received a package at home and thought there was too much paper? Or that the cardboard used was too much for the object being packed? Yet every time, that cardboard ends up in the trash. After seeing Greg Olijnyk‘s creations you might want to keep it all and replicate one of his works. 

Greg Olijnyk is a graphic designer from Melbourne, Australia, and to get a little change from the 2D illustrations he does all day when he gets home, he turns off his computer and devotes himself to creating 3D sculptures using cardboard packaging.
The brownish colour and distinctive texture have made cardboard Greg’s favourite material. 

When it comes to the subjects of his works, Greg Olijnyk takes inspiration from science fiction stories: his creations are almost always humanoid robots whose mechanisms are painstakingly designed. His creations are almost always humanoid robots whose mechanisms are painstakingly crafted. In fact, the characters built by the Australian designer also have elements that can move thanks to a perfect interplay of joints. 

What makes the sculptures even more special is the inclusion of elements such as glass or small LED lights that make the robots look like they really work. From robots on a replica of a Vespa, to a reinterpretation of the David and Goliath clash, to apartment blocks with illuminated staircases, discover some of Greg Olijnyk’s sculptures below and follow him on Instagram so you don’t miss his next creations.
