About the artist

Crizu

Italy

Crizu merges craftsmanship, patience, and creativity, transforming old books into intricate paper sculptures. Each page is meticulously hand-folded, preserving the book’s integrity while giving it new artistic life. Encyclopedias and manuals, once outdated, become sophisticated design objects—still readable but now admired for their metamorphosis. This process, akin to meditation, follows a rhythmic, deliberate gesture, embodying harmony and timeless beauty. Old yet new, Crizu’s creations are poetic expressions of renewal and artistry.
