After losing his construction company in the recession, Felix Semper was looking for a new way forward. He discovered a love for the art of paper sculpting. His travels led him on a mission to reconnect with his roots and family history in Northern Spain. The faces of the people he encountered along the way inspired his latest piece, “Olibondoa,” which means olive tree in Spanish. Felix says, “We live in a beautiful world full of color and when we travel, we learn to see things in a different way.”
