What can medieval bestiaries and old wallpaper samples have in common?
Paper and wood series
The incisions engraved on wallpaper pieces create empty spaces and it is there where we discover some imaginary creatures: All of them constitute the «Papers» series, which in synthesis, is a sort of personal bestiary. A wallpaper sample of the 80's is the basis of this series which plays with the meddling of colorful "bugs" over a "demodé" aged style background.

Papers series
But the medieval bestiaries have been a source of inspiration not only for this series, but also for the first project of this paper Lab : the "Orquideario" series, where decoration is
influenced by the backgrounds used in the miniatures works of the middle age.
Orquidiario is a series composed by eighteen sheets of paper: in each one of them we discover creatures with an orchid head and the body of a chimera or medieval type monster. Likewise its name,
it is a mixture between the orchid’s scientific name and the animal to which it alludes.
