The Metamorphosis Collection
Original one-of-a-kind art created by Artist Paula Pietranera
Think the fold.
Become the fold.
Forget the fold.
Everything in my art is about interconnectedness … coming alive, like a dreamcatcher that lures the true self to a place of deep intimacy. The closeness of this connection is what inspires me, because intimate togetherness with oneself, with others, and with the world can be our deepest yearning and also our biggest fear.
My art invites you to get closer, to connect, and explore. Paper cranes and black sumi ink come together in a subtle way that can only be discovered within the stillness of intimate, mindful attention.

The Metamorphosis Collection
Every item in this collection is an original piece of art. By the way of Renzuru, one of the most complex and ancient Japanese paper-folding techniques, Paula Pietranera creates these unique expressions of transformation. Evolving from two to three dimensions, these consecutive joined cranes are folded out of a single sheet of paper to create a chain of evolution.
You can also be one of the many people in the world that own one of the pieces of this collection. A perfect gift for yourself and for others, that bring meaning and aesthetic beauty to any space they inhabit.
About Paula Pietranera
Born in 1979 in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Paula Pietranera graduated as an architect and later specialized in historical building conservation and restoration. During her studies, she felt a deep spiritual connection to Asian arts which led her to study sumié, origami and Japanese calligraphy in Argentina, Japan and the United States. When living in Japan in 2015, she discovered the ancient Renzuru paper-folding technique, for which she trained with the master Mizuho Tomita in Kyoto. During the last few years, she’s been exploring ways in which these traditional techniques can be an expressive medium of fine artwork. Her creations have been exhibited in Argentina, Japan and the Unites States.
