Amazing things can be created with paper, scissors and glue alone! This statement illustrates creativity very well. Ana Serranothat built the whole world made of cardboardwho named Cartonlandia.
Cardboard is truly one of the best and most versatile materials for creativity! Firstly, it is environmentally friendly, no trees were cut down for its production, it is made from recycled paper. Secondly, it is very malleable, it stimulates creativity and responds to any ideas of the author. Examples of amazing work from this material include a cardboard replica of Van Gogh's Starry Night by artist Susy Myers, flying origami by Matthew Parker, or mosaics by Michael Sweere.
American artist Anna Serrano also chose cardboard as the material for her work. At least for the work of Cartonlandia, in which she created a whole city from cardboard with numerous houses, their inhabitants, vegetation, cars and other urban details.
This city is large enough. For example, in height it corresponds to the height of Anna Serrano herself, 167 centimeters.
You can look at the cardboard city Cartonlandia for hours, finding more and more new details and meanings in it, admiring the card characters (about a hundred people in total), houses, terraces, trees, bridges, furniture, cars and other numerous details of this unusual art object.
As conceived by Anna Serrano, the city of Cartonlandia by her authorship in many motives and details, as well as in the general concept, repeats the poorest slums of South American countries, for example, the Brazilian favelas.
Chaotic buildings, lack of basic utilities, garbage, poverty, lack of control. All of this can be seen both in the favelas and in the work of Anna Serrano Cartonlandia. The author is trying to draw attention to all this with the help of his unusual cardboard art.
