Do you know the collages with the colored cards you used to make in kindergarten? Well, forget about it. Those by designer John Ed De Vera have nothing to do with our little works and deserve to be exhibited in a museum.

After carefully cutting dozens and dozens of pieces of paper, John glues them by stacking them together, creating three-dimensional sculptures depicting characters from films, books, famous people or natural landscapes. Each subject lends itself perfectly to this art form and it is amazing to see how each work is studied in detail.

The hyper-realism of John Ed De Vera’s sculptures makes us fly with our imagination and succeeds in transforming a simple sheet of paper into Iron Man’s iron armor, into seawater, into Daenerys Targaryen’s silvery hair.
