Origami: Gonzalo Garcia Calvo

If you’re an origami aficionado, you need to see these works by Madrid-based Gonzalo Garcia Calvo. He makes the intricate, folded animals and objects when he isn’t working his regular gigs as a musician. (Note the violin and grand piano that are part of his portfolio.)

Origami Pegasus (alicorn) designed by Hojyo Takashi, folded using a square of mulberry paper 35x35cm

For most of his works, he uses designs created by other origami artists, or patterns he’s adapted, but all the actual folding is his own.  (Owl, top of post: Tonight’s the Night, designed by Katsuta Kyohei).

  1. My gosh, he’s BRILLIANT!! Makes me think of the Lego designs. My friend did the Lego Grand Piano, it had everything, the keys, the strings, the chair, etc. Origami, he takes it to a whole new level.

Something to say?
