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.

    […] 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!
