“Our adventure is about to begin.”
Based in London, artist Rob Ryan has spent 20 years perfecting the craft of making paper cut-outs.
These wonderful works of art contain beautifully written love letters and often take several weeks to complete. Ryan meticulously cuts the scenes and incorporates the words into them to create beautiful artworks.
Ryan’s works will be available in a book titled Paper Cutting: Contemporary Artists, Timeless Craft. It can be purchased from Amazon.

“Stars and planets are held in place by the power of gravity and the tiny nucleus of an atom cannot live without its fellow protons and neutrons. The leaf cannot survive away from its tree just as much as the tree needs the soil in which it lives. When the part becomes separated from the whole it withers and dies. If everything in the universe is connected to each other then why not us too?”
“So my darling, close your eyes and don't be afraid and as she did he sand this song...All we do is live from day to day and I want to grow old with you until my feathers go grey and my beak wrinkles up and my wings are too weak to fly, all we can is live from day to day. And as he whispered these words to her she fell fast asleep."
“You are my universe. Moons circle planets and planets circle stars, stars and galaxies rotate eternally and you and I circle each other for you are my universe entirely and I will always be yours.”
“Countless moons circle countless planets and countless planets circle countless stars. Stars and galaxies rotate eternally and you and I circle each other for you are my universe and I will always be yours.”
