Paper is an incredibly popular medium as of late, but I’ve never seen anything like Cesar Del Valle’s work. Taking traditional portraits and turning them on their heads, he utilizes paper in such simple ways to evoke strong emotions from his subjects.
An outstanding display of creativity, Medellin-based Cesar Del Valle understands that extravagance isn’t the only way to make a statement. Expression of any sort is usually most powerful when raw and unaffected. He captures this concept through these illustrations. Take a look at the gallery for a closer look at his work.
