Paper art that looks good enough to eat by Raya Sader Bujana

Barcelona-based paper artist Raya Sader Bujana is someone we've recently discovered on Instagram.

She's a talented creative who loves to recreate everyday objects using paper and in this particular series, Paper Foods, she explores the possibilities of turning some of her favourite treats into little artworks.

From coffee and pumpkin pies topped with cream to refreshing cucumbers and watermelons – even minute lettuce leaves – she fashions everything from different coloured paper using her trusty craft knife.

Speaking of the series, she said: "I love creating as much detail as possible to get as close as I can to reality using this medium. I also create stop-motion videos with a lot of these pieces that you can check out on my Instagram profile."

If you love this work as much as we do, make sure you follow Raya on Instagram. Or check out her shop on Etsy where you can purchase eco-friendly origami and paper designs, including jewellery, garlands, cake toppers and decorations.
