mar cerdà
Tiny paper houses, clearly made with love, by Barcelona based artist Mar Cerdà. She illustrates children’s books for several publishing houses, but it’s her paper dioramas that grabbed me… painted tiles, little framed artworks, and windows lit from behind! Oh, and those final three are housed inside tuna cans from Portugal. So good.
Tuna can houses? Wow, I love those!
total adoration! just so unique and beautiful!! great work and fabulous artist!
This is what I’ve been wanting to do – probably not as well as this. So far I haven’t broken out of Altoid tins. This is inspiring! And I love the bright colors!

Oooohh thank you so much to share my work!! I’m so honored!
I absolutely adore the little sardine can doors!
I could look at these all day!
[…] There’s a good reason that these dioramas remind me of movies—Mar’s training is in cinema with a specialization in art direction. This background encouraged a fascination with the treatment of space. “I firmly believe that a character can be defined by a space,” she writes, “even if is not present at all.” I agree!

Just lovely, lovely, lovely!
Totally charming. True crafts come in many forms. B
