A handmade portrait to honor someone deeply loved.
Created from a photograph and cut from cardstock, each papel picado portrait is a one of a kind memorial piece designed to hold both likeness and feeling. Rooted in the tradition of papel picado, these portraits carry the quiet poetry of remembrance. The cut paper allows light to pass through, giving the piece a living quality as shadows shift and move throughout the day.
Mounted in a framed shadow box, each portrait becomes more than an image. It becomes a space for memory. As the sun travels, the portrait changes with it, casting delicate shadows within the frame and bringing a sense of movement, presence, and reflection.
These portraits can be created in memory of a beloved family member, friend, partner, child, or animal companion. Each one is made with tenderness and attention, offering a meaningful way to remember someone in a form that feels both intimate and lasting.
