Paper artist usually brings to my mind things such as cute or pretty greeting cards or at most a lovely scene to hang behind glass. However, paper artist Lisa Nilsson puts a whole new twist on paper art. Her anatomical quilled pieces show a magnificent talent and skill. The tedious process of winding paper tightly around little rolls in order to get the artsy effect phenomenally render cross-sections of the human anatomy.
I’ve always been awed and intrigued with the human form and marvel at the intricate workings of the body. Lisa Nilsson’s art capture the body beautifully.

Do you have the patience to create such masterpieces?
Hi Red, I enjoyed your article. It’s been a while since I’ve visited your blog here. I think that I would have patience for this kind of paper art, after all I have patience for braiding my own entire head of micro braids for 3 days until finished. Great post.
Thanks for stopping by again, Dixie! I can’t imagine spending 3 days on my hair!!! You sure do have determination and patience!!!! I can’t hardly stand spending 3 minutes on my own hair. LOLOL 😛
Dramatic
😀 Yep, both the body and the art! 😉
Wow that’s really quite unique, almost looks like a batik effect, which is an indonesian art form.
Looks almost 3d in it’s effect.

Yes, Helen, they do look 3D. I love it!
This appeals to me. Really well done!
Thanks and I’m glad you enjoyed it. I thought about the amazing number of hours it took her to complete each piece. Not only is the body gorgeous, but her works are quite wonderful.
Wow! What incredible artwork. Amazing to depict such an organic subject to depict with paper! Thanks for sharing.

Wow, wow, wow! Incredible, incredible, incredible! You asked, “Do you have the patience to create such masterpieces?” Well, not with paper but with words. 🙂
Yep, me either and me too. 😛
