Parth Kothekar is an Ahmedabad-based artist who creates these mind-blowing silhouettes cut out of paper.

Kothekar, who calls the project Papercut Artworks, uses nothing but a pencil and a paper-cutting knife to carve out these exquisite pieces of art.

"I did my first solo exhibition last October. Until then it was a hobby, but the response made me take it up full time," Kothekar told BuzzFeed India.

"I have been putting up my work online since I started two years ago, and the response has always been overwhelming," he added.

Speaking about his inspirations, Kothekar said, "I don't have any favourite artist in particular. I like to keep working and make something I haven't done before."

Kothekar said that one of his personal favourites is this dragonfly.

Kothekar also creates beautiful pendants and other types of jewellery out of his artworks.
