Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Kunal Kundu is an award-winning visual artist who likes to experiment with various styles. He first discovered his signature style in crumpled paper art sculptures when his son, barely a year old, was playing with waste paper sheets. Kunal creates his art by first shaping paper and then later superimposing them on digital environments, describing the process “like gesture drawing as a paper sculpture.” He lives in Kolkata, India.
