Jeff Nishinaka is a paper sculptor from Los Angeles. After attending University of California, Los Angeles, he earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Illustration from the prestigious Art Centre College of Design in Pasadena, California.

Paper started becoming Nishinaka’s medium of choice when he was an art student. He used paper to create a multidimensional sculpture. During this creative process, He draws from reality to create monochromatic objects in relief. 

Nishinaka has a special relationship with paper. He feels that the medium has an energy and life of its own and that it is his part to release or reveal what is already there. Each sculpture begins with an idea, a sketch and research. When ready to construct, he uses simple tools in his creations in his work and meticulously creates each element of a structure with great precision, patience and passion.

The art works I interest piece is a series of paper sculptures of flowers he made for a jewellery company. In this piece, his inspiration comes from ethereal lines and geometric shapes that flowers have. In this series of paper sculpture, he uses shape, bent and round edges on different types of paper and uses glue to stick each piece of paper sculpture.
