  • Welcome to the official website of contemporary paper artist Bianca Severijns.

    Severijns creates her multifaceted, striking artworks by continuously exploring the paper medium. Rooted in a multicultural background, her art delves into themes of displacement, identity, and migration that emerge from personal narratives.

     

    Her self-developed manipulating paper techniques are based on layering, merging, and weaving hundreds of small, hand-torn paper pieces into sculptural tapestries, murals, reliefs, and three-dimensional objects. The repetitive act of paper tearing creates a rugged, rough finish to each piece, emulating life itself with all its beauty and harshness.

    Drawing inspiration from nature's cycles and addressing pressing social matters such as forced uprooting, humanitarian aid, human rights, and the hope of starting anew, Severijns' art invites reflection on our shared world.
