Playful Olympics-themed paper sculptures by Barcelona artist Raya Sader Bujana

In her latest series, she collaborated with photographer Leo García Méndez to create stock photography surrounding an Olympic theme – crafting sport-inspired paper sculptures made out of multiple layers.

From the flexible gymnast to the lean, professional cyclist – each artwork includes up to 150 pieces of paper, which are joined by lots of tiny 3mm separators to create the 3D effect. Raya explains: "The whole concept of this design was to express movement using paper. The added texture, light and volume that the technique provides reinforces the fluidity of the pieces"
