These fantastical creatures, featuring neon colors and alien-like faces are the work of Anaïs Herd-Smith, a Parisian artist who has made a name for herself through these highly intricate designs.

The expressive creatures she builds have a whimsical and friendly demeanor, despite their 3 or 6 eyes, or in some cases, two heads.

As a member of the Paper Artists Collective, she helps push the possibility of what paper art can be, and her work has been seen in high profile campaigns for MTV, Oxfam, and Paris’ Office of Tourism.

“These sculptures are inspired by nature, the environment, chimeras and mythological monsters. Joyful and colorful, these monsters are surprising with their multiple eyes and fluorescent paint.”
