Artist Creates Spectacular Folded Steel Animal Sculptures From Metal Sheets

After seeing a faceted sculpture design made from folded paper one day, welder Andrei Kazantsev decided to try his hand at making his own sculptures using the material he works best with: folded steel.

Using a press that allows him to do precut shapes from sheet metal, he later folds them. Andrei manufactures parts for each of his sculptures, and later on he assembles them together into one piece. A final soldering phase allows his creations to take their final form.
