About me by Carton-art

About me and my paper flowers

Since 2019, I have been shaping paper to capture the life and delicacy of flowers—petal by petal, until the simplest material becomes almost alive.

Before that, I spent 25 years working within non-profit organisations, leading large-scale European and Euro-Mediterranean projects. Those years taught me an uncompromising attention to detail and the ability to bring ambitious projects to completion—qualities that now infuse every one of my creations.

My journey began in 2015 with training in cardboard furniture making. Paper soon became my chosen medium and naturally led me to flowers. Nature offers beauty in the moment; paper preserves the emotion it leaves behind. Each creation is designed to endure, carrying memories through time.

I create everything from botanically faithful flowers, crafted down to the finest petal, to monumental installations that transform entire spaces. Every piece is entirely handmade, leaf by leaf and petal by petal, in my studio.

This craftsmanship gives life to a wide range of projects: event installations, shop window displays, interior decoration and bespoke commissions. Every flower is unique, just like the place or the person it is created for.

Above all, I am an artisan. I believe in work carried out with care, precision and high standards—where beauty lies not only in the finished piece, but also in the time and dedication invested in creating it.
