Peter Callesen has been called a master in the art done with paper “origami” but himself doesn’t call his work specifically neither origami nor even art. He has been exhibiting his works since 1997 in many collaborative exhibitions, but also in solo exhibitions sponsored by some other important artists.
He was born in Denmark in 1967 but then he moved to London to study his latest years at Goldsmiths College. About his work he says he almost only works with white paper, it his favorite because it is the most common and consumed media by companies to carry information through. He also thinks the withe and simple paper is better to create art because we can be related and maybe identified to it, so that we could better understand the final work.
Let’s analyze a little bit this kind of work. Not only Callesen’s, but any work related with origami. I think this is an amazing technique; it’s awesome how these artists can give feeling and liveliness to something they create with a flat and simple piece of paper.
Callesen particularly works the most with white paper, but there are many others that give some more of realism to their work, like Bert Simons, who mostly creates busts with paper! It’s really impressive how these people can give all that liveliness to flat paper.

I think that the origami is a very difficult art, because you need to be good with the hands to can make those things with only a piece of paper. It’s amazing that someone can do that I respect all that people, because is something hard and no many people can do that. That picture that you are showing us is incredible because I can believe it in painting but in paper do that skeleton with paper it sounds crazy but Callesen can do it.
