Scientific Botanical Paper Sculptor
Switzerland
The work of Giovanna Molinari-Casile, Scientific Botanical Paper Sculptor, is based on the three-dimensional reconstruction of flora and fauna in paper.
Each work arises from the direct observation and analysis of natural structures, with a particular focus on morphology, proportion, and spatial relationships.
The process includes:
- Analysis of biological structures
- Scaled reconstruction (often 2:1 or larger)
- Transfer to paper as the structural medium
- Precise manual construction
Each element is individually crafted and integrated into a coherent overall system. These works do not aim to imitate nature; they aim to reconstruct it. The goal is to preserve natural forms
beyond their lifespan and translate them into three-dimensional studies.
Positioned at the intersection of art, science, and conservation, these works are designed for collections, exhibitions, and long-term preservation.
