Studying the skills of an artist and digital art, she received two master's degrees. And now he devotes all his time to the painstaking and time-consuming work of cutting out the most complex patterns and entire paintings from snow-white rice paper. As a sample, the artist uses photographs, paintings from the Internet, illustrations from books and magazines.
