About my artwork
Ingrid Siliakus first discovered paper architecture by seeing work of the originator of this art form Prof. Masahiro Chatani (architect and professor in Japan). He developed this art form in the early 1980's. Ingrid was instantly fascinated by the ingenious manner in which these pieces were designed and by the beauty they radiated. Ingrid studied the originator's work for some years and than started to design herself. Ingrid states that working with this art form has given her personal means of expressing. Her designing skills have grown over the years. Her specialties are buildings of master architects and intricate abstract sculptures. Her source of inspiration by these abstract sculptures are works of artists like M.C. Escher. With buildings she feels attracted to work of Berlage and Gaudi.

Hi Ingrid,

Je werk viel me al op in de Kunstgids Nederland 2008. En nu weer, is erg indrukwekkend.

Intricate, ornate and to my mind very demanding work, beautifully executed.

very interesting an intricate work. i LOVE it! I just came back to the states from my first trip to Europe where I was astounded by the gothic architecture. It is wonderful to see someone incorporating it into a contemporary context as you are.

These are amazing! I love the way you've shot the red one- almost an animation. I'm really just stunned at how they fold back up into themsleves

I'm moved! Keep pushing your wondrous vision -- venturing more into realms that are conceptually-rich, and technically improbable. We wish to be dazzled -- and you are on your way to doing this.
