Once in a while I stumbble upon a new talent on the internet and they never cease to amaze me. This time my guest is real-life Edward Scissorhands, artist Edward Tsokolakyan, who handles paper like a pro. And not just paper. Take a look at Edward's Instagram where he shares some of his most creative work, like portraits made out of an egg, yes, egg! And while you're at it, you can request him to make your very own portrait.

Giulia: Was art always in your life?

Edward: I loved drawing since childhood, I never studied it. I just drew and created for myself.

Giulia: How did it start?

Edward: I once saw this person on the internet who was cutting portraits from paper, I got so inspired and interested that I decided to give it a try. I assume I am not doing that bad.(laughs) I love to surprise myself and others. I always try to make or create something new that myself and others will love.

Giulia; What’s the trick to papercut art ?

Edward: Not telling you my secrets. The only thing I can share is everything that I do, I do myself, from the first attempt. It's a huge and a quiet difficult work that I do.

Giulia: What inspires you?

Edward: I love everything new and complicated that may not work from the first time, something that challenges me and requires practice. I don't look for easy way out. I always try to reach the perfection in everything that I do. The most important thing is that I get satisfaction from it.

Giulia: You’re very successful, what piece of advice can you give to young talent?

Edward: The advice I can give to a young talent is not to give up, continue to work and develop your talant. There is always something to learn.
