Santo Spirito Florence – Framed Layered Paper Art

€90.00

A minimalist interpretation of Florence's Santo Spirito, created from precision-cut layers of paper. A sweeping architectural curve, a circular window and generous negative space define this elegant three-dimensional illustration. Handmade in Florence and presented in a 19 × 19 cm frame.

Santo Spirito Florence Layered Paper Art

Some architectural details need very little explanation. A curve, a window, the suggestion of a façade. Sometimes that is enough.

Inspired by Florence's Santo Spirito, this layered paper illustration reduces a historic architectural fragment to a strikingly minimalist composition.

White paper elements emerge against a warm neutral background, defining a sweeping curve and a delicate circular opening.

Precision-cut and carefully assembled by hand, the individual layers introduce subtle depth and shadows. The generous negative space becomes as important as the architectural details themselves. The result is almost abstract, yet unmistakably architectural.

Made in Florence, this framed artwork offers a particularly contemporary way of appreciating the city's visual heritage.

Florentine architecture, with an admirable sense of restraint.

Florentine craft & Layered paper art

Florence has a long tradition of architectural drawing, decorative arts and skilled craftsmanship.

These layered paper illustrations offer a contemporary interpretation of that heritage. Architectural details are recreated through precision-cut sheets of paper, assembled and finished by hand to create depth, texture and delicate shadows.

A meeting of architectural observation, modern precision and traditional artisanal attention.

Use & Care

Layered paper art is delicate and should be handled with care.

  • Display indoors.

  • Avoid humid environments and sudden temperature changes.

  • Remove dust gently with a soft, dry brush.

  • Do not use water, solvents or cleaning sprays.

  • Avoid touching or pressing raised paper elements.

  • Protect the artwork from bending and compression during transport or storage.

  • For an especially striking presentation, display the artwork in a larger frame with a generous passe-partout, ideally leaving at least 10 cm (4 inches) of breathing space on each side. The additional space enhances the composition and gives the intricate paper details room to stand out.

Giulia Pagliacci

Layered Paper Art & Florentine Architecture

Florence-based architect and paper artist Giulia Pagliacci explores the city's architectural heritage through delicate three-dimensional illustrations.

Her work begins with a detail: a Gothic window, the curve of a façade, the geometry of a historic building. These fragments are reconstructed through precision-cut layers of FSC-certified paper, carefully assembled and finished by hand.

Light, shadow and negative space give depth to each composition, transforming paper into an unexpectedly sculptural medium.

Rooted in architectural observation and contemporary craftsmanship, her work offers a fresh perspective on Florence's familiar landmarks.

Florentine architecture, one carefully considered layer at a time.
