As a creative personality and one that has her hands in both the one-dimensional and three-dimensional world, I have a great appreciation for many artists –especially those that work with their hands. Meet Agnes Cecilia Fideli Siri Charlotte Sundqvist or Fideli Sundqvist for short. She is the Swedish paper craft artist who has been visually storytelling for advertising and editorials since the early 2000s.
Sundqvist stumbled into this world while attending Konstfack University based in Sweden. During her sophomore year her brother who was studying in Beijing shared with her a paper art book which ended up being the catalyst to her obsession with the medium. For her senior project she spent ten weeks carefully crafting Tilly and Gul – an elephant's adventures – for her senior project. What followed next was a career that allowed her to take her skills to the next level and do something she truly loved.
Sundqvist, who doesn't speak english, has won numerous awards and made many tv appearances in her native country. While she has many clients internationally who enjoy commissioning her for their brands, she has gifted the rest of us with an awesome instructional book showcasing how to create 40 of her works. If this is something your interested in learning more about, pickup up I Love Paper! And if you're in Sweden, swing by her current exhibition!
