Hand-cut Photo-realistic Paper Portraits

South Korean artist Yoo Hyun creates photo-realistic paper portraits of well known personalities by hand. Using an x-acto knife and tweezers, Hyun meticulously carves out the piece of paper until it resembles an abstract zig-zag pattern. Once the composition is done, the photorealistic piece can be placed on different backdrops to achieve various outcomes. Most of the artist’s work features famous faces such as Pablo Picasso, Frida Kahlo and Audrey Hepburn.
