Making things has always been incredibly important to me and it is often an amazing release to get it out of my system.
Its a joy to hunt for things for my work...the lost, found and forgotten all have places in what I make.
Most of my pieces use recycled materials, not only as an ethical statement, but I believe they add more authenticity and charm.
Storytelling books and paper art for people who are also a little lost, found and forgotten...

Descripción
Mi nombre es Malena Valcárcel.
Vivo en Alicante - España, junto al hermoso y cálido mar
Mediterráneo. Nací en Tenerife - Islas Canarias, donde crecí sin perder de
vista el mar.
En realidad no tengo ninguna preparación formal en nada que
tenga que ver con el papel o el arte con papel, he aprendido todo yo misma.
He probado con muchas áreas creativas en los últimos años y
ahora me encuentro trabajando con papel, lo cual adoro.
Cuando no estoy haciendo cosas, que no es muy a menudo, me
encanta la jardinería, leer y ver películas. También doy clases particulares de
inglés. Colecciono piedras y conchas, las cuales reúno en frascos de vidrio.
Mis principales inspiraciones provienen de la naturaleza y
de la vida cotidiana y muchas veces vuelven ciertas ideas una y otra vez.
Las flores, los árboles, las mariposas, las casas, las
nubes.... sin olvidar el mar, realmente me fascinan.
Convertir libros en esculturas, cortar y moldear el papel
en diferentes formas nunca deja de sorprenderme, y cuando el trabajo está
terminado, sólo contemplarlo trae una sonrisa a mi cara.
Hacer cosas siempre ha sido muy importante para mí y es a
menudo una liberación increíble el sacarlo de mi sistema.
Es una alegría el buscar cosas para mi trabajo ... lo
perdido, encontrado y olvidado, todos tienen lugar en lo que hago.
La mayor parte de mis piezas utilizan materiales
reciclados, no sólo como una declaración ética, creo que añaden más encanto y
autenticidad.

Description
My name is Malena Valcárcel.
I live in Alicante - Spain, next to the beautiful and warm Mediterranean
Sea. I was born in Tenerife – Canary Islands where I grew up without losing
sight of the sea.
I actually have no formal training in anything to do with paper or my paper
art established work, I have learnt everything myself.
I have tried many areas creatively over the years and now I find myself working with paper which I adore.
When I'm not making things, which isn't that often, I love gardening, reading and watching films. I also teach private english lessons. I collect stones and shells which I gather in glass jars.
My main inspirations come from nature and everyday life and I often return to certain ideas again and again.
Flowers, trees, butterflies, houses, clouds ... without forgetting the sea, really fascinate me.

Turning books into sculptures, cutting
and shaping paper into different shapes or abstract forms never ceases to amaze
me and when the work is finished, just contemplating it brings a smile to my
face.
