About Fideli Sundqvist
Fideli Sundqvist, a Swedish artist and designer, developed a passion for papercraft as a college student. Inspired by Chinese papercuts and the work of Rob Ryan, she began experimenting with paper cutting, eventually transitioning to three-dimensional paper sculptures. She honed her skills at university, where she explored the transformation of flat templates into intricate objects.
After graduating, Sundqvist joined an agency and began collaborating with photographers to elevate her paper creations through lighting and digital techniques. Her work has since expanded to include various commercial projects, from building props for campaigns to designing entire environments for advertising and editorial contexts. Sundqvist's unique approach to papercraft involves a blend of technical precision and artistic expression, resulting in captivating and imaginative pieces.
She is passionate about animal rights and nature preservation, and The Kew Book of Paper Gardens is a reflection of her love for the natural world.
In recent years Fideli has been working with her husband, Hannes Anderzen, who is a photographer and animator.
She lives and works in Sweden.
